I created a Parallel Coordinate Plot on the WebUI. My last column is “eval/loss”, my target metric. However, “eval/loss” is a _time-series_. I the Run Table I can sort by “eval/loss (Min)”.

_Questions_:

- How do I decide which eval/loss I pick? E.g. min, max, latest, earliest.
- Can I “scroll” through time? E.g. It would be interesting if some parameters favour an early min vs others favour a later min.

Hi @cemde , thank you so much for reaching out with your questions.

Currently, the Parallels coordinate plots show what is the value from the summary for the metric, which by default is `latest`. You can, when logging a metric, change what value is stored in the summary from the latest to the minimum with `wandb.define_metric("loss", summary="min")` (see more on customising metrics summary [here](https://docs.wandb.ai/guides/track/log/log-summary#customize-summary-metrics) ).  
Does this work for you or would you lime me to raise a feature request for the Parallels plot to display whichever aggregate measure has been selected for the Metric in the Run table?

Regarding ‘scrolling’ in time this is currently not possible however, I can raise this as a feature request for our product team to review. Would something like having a step slider as in the Media panels to scroll through work for you?
