Manage Projects

Set up a Project for your evaluation or monitoring use case.

Before creating a Project, you need a Workspace.

• In Evidently Cloud, your account is your Workspace. Set up an account and connect from Python.

• In self-hosted deployments, a Workspace is a remote or local directory. Create and connect to a workspace.

Create a Project

You can create a Project using the Python API or directly in the user interface.

Add a new Project - API

Team management is a Pro feature available in the Evidently Cloud and Evidently Enterprise.

In Evidently Cloud and Enterprise, you must create a Team before adding a Project. To get your Team ID, go to the Teams page, select your Team, and copy the ID from there.

To create a Project inside a workspace ws and Team with a team_id, assign a name and description, and save the changes:

project = ws.create_project("My test project", team_id="YOUR_TEAM_ID")
project.description = "My project description"
project.save()

In self-hosted open-source installation, you do not need to pass the Team ID. To create a Project:

project = ws.create_project("My test project")
project.description = "My project description"
project.save()

Add a new Project - UI

Click on the “plus” sign on the home page, create a Team if you do not have one yet and type your Project name and description.

After creating a Project, you can click to open a Dashboard. Since there's no data yet, it will be empty.

Project ID. Once you run create_project, you will see the Project ID. You can later use it to reference the Project. You can also copy the Project ID directly from the UI: it appears above the monitoring Dashboard.

Manage Project

Connect to a Project

To connect to an existing Project from Python, use the get_project method.

project = ws.get_project("PROJECT_ID")

Save changes

After making changes to the Project (such as editing description or adding monitoring Panels), always use the save() command:

project.save()

Browse Projects

You can see all available Projects on the monitoring homepage, or request a list programmatically. To get a list of all Projects in a workspace ws, use:

ws.list_projects()

To find a specific Project by its name, use the search_project method:

ws.search_project("project_name")

[DANGER] Delete Project

You are deleting the data in a Project. If you delete a Project, you will delete all the snapshots stored inside it.

API

To delete the Project and all the data inside it:

# ws.delete_project("PROJECT ID")

UI

Go to the "home page", and hover over a Project name. Click on the bin sign and confirm that you want to delete the Project.

Project parameters

Each Project has the following parameters.

Parameter	Description
name: str	Project name.
id: UUID4 = Field(default_factory=uuid.uuid4)	Unique identifier of the Project. Assigned automatically.
description: Optional[str] = None	Optional description. Visible when you browse Projects.
dashboard: DashboardConfig	Dashboard configuration that describes the composition of the monitoring Panels. Note: See Dashboard Design for details. You don't need to explicitly pass DashboardConfig if you use the .dashboard.add_panel method to add Panels.
date_from: Optional[datetime.datetime] = None	Start DateTime of the monitoring Dashboard. By default, Evidently shows data for all available periods based on the snapshot timestamps. You can set a different DateTime. E.g., to refer to the last 30 days: from datetime import datetime, timedelta datetime.now() + timedelta(-30)
date_to: Optional[datetime.datetime] = None	End DateTime of the monitoring Dashboard. Works the same as above.

What’s next?

Once you create or connect to a Project, you can:

• Send snapshots using the add_report or add_test_suite methods.

• Configure the monitoring Dashboard in the user interface or via the Python API.
