Understand the experiments dashboard

When you open Oracle Experiments you are presented with the Experiments dashboard. It displays four panels that provide an overview of current and upcoming activities.

From here you can choose to open an experiment that has been previously created, or you can create a new experiment by clicking the New Experiment button and providing an associated name and URL. For detailed information on using these panels, refer to View Existing Experiments.

Note: If a filter is in place, you can remove the filter by clicking on the X in the filter box. You can also refresh the information displayed on the Experiments dashboard by clicking on the Refresh icon at the top of the page.

The dashboard panels are summarized in the following sections:

  • End Date: This is the currently scheduled end date for the experiment.
  • Winning Goal Tile: This tile displays the name of the primary goal for the experiment, and the name of the variant that is currently winning. The winning variant is the one which shows the greatest percentage improvement for the primary goal among the variants which have a confidence level greater than 95%. If there are no variants with a confidence level greater than 95% that show an improvement on the control for the primary goal, then “No Winner” is displayed in this tile.
