It's just that to access that comparison page, you have to make a comparison first.

Make total sense to me 🙂

I meant even just a link to a blank comparison and one can then add the experiments from that view

Just making sure you are aware, once you are in comparison you can always add Tasks (any Task):
Notice you can press on the "Add experiments", then select Any experiment (including all projects! as filters)
Notice you need to remove all filters (right side red x on the filter Icon)

Also I can't select any tasks from the dashboard search results 😞

2. I guess? 🤔 I mean the same filter option one has for e.g. tags in the table view. In the "all experiments" project I think it would make sense for one to be able to select the projects of interest, or even filter for textual matches.

3. Sorry I meant the cards indeed :)

You can view all projects and search there 🙂

Hmmm, what 😄

why not let the user start with an empty comparison page and add them from "Add Experiment" button as well?

Apologies, I was not clear. Yes I'm with you, this is a great idea 🙂

Ah okay 😄 Was confused by what you quoted haha 👍

That's exactly what I meant AgitatedDove14 🙂 It's just that to access that comparison page, you have to make a comparison first. It would be handy to have a link (in the side bar?) to an empty comparison

Either, honestly, would be great. I meant even just a link to a blank comparison and one can then add the experiments from that view

The results from searching in the "Add Experiment" view (can't resize column widths -> can't see project name ...)

Hey AgitatedDove14 🙂
Finally managed; you keep saying "all projects" but you meant the "All Experiments" project instead. That's a good start 👍 Thanks!

Couple of thoughts from this experience:
Could we add a comparison feature directly from the search results (Dashboard view -> search -> highlight some experiments for comparison)? Could we add a filter on the project name in the "All Experiments" project? Could we add the project for each of the search results? (see above picture where there's identical-named tasks, in different projects, but one cannot tell which is which)

Also (sorry for all of these!) - could be nice to have a direct "task comparison" link in the UI somewhere, that would open a comparison with no tasks and the user can add them manually using the "add experiments" button. :)

For example, can't interact with these two tasks from this view (got here from searching in the dashboard view; they're in different projects):

Managed now 🙂 Thank you for your patience!
I edited the previous post with some suggestions/thoughts

Hi UnevenDolphin73

Can one compare experiments/tasks from different projects?

Yes, the easiest way is to go to the parent project ("all projects" if they have no common parent, then search for the specific Tasks (i.e. filter or using the search bar), then multi-select them.
wdyt?

Not sure I understand your comment - why not let the user start with an empty comparison page and add them from "Add Experiment" button as well?

Finally managed; you keep saying "all projects" but you meant the "All Experiments" project instead. That's a good start 

 Thanks!

Yes, my apologies you are correct: "all experiments"

could be nice to have a direct "task comparison" link in the UI somewhere,

you mean like a "cart" for comparison ? or just to "save the state" so you can move between projects ?

Unfortunately I can't take a photo of not being able to compare tasks by navigating around the WebUI...

Does that clarify the issue CostlyOstrich36 ?

I can't seem to manage the first way around. If I select tasks in different projects, I don't get the bottom bar offering to compare between them

I can navigate through the projects, but selecting one task in one project, then navigating to another project and selecting a different task -> there is no suggestion to compare the tasks.

In the projects page if I show all - I just see the projects. If I search for a task of similar name, I get results, but I can't compare them via the UI.

The only way I managed so far was to create a pseudo-comparison between unrelated tasks in the same project, then remove one task from comparion, and use the "Add Experiment" button to add the task-of-interest from the other project (which was difficult, since the project name does not fit in the column, and I can't resize the column in that search window...)

1. Could we add a comparison feature directly from the search results (Dashboard view -> search -> highlight some experiments for comparison)?

Totally forgot about the global search feature, hmm I'm not sure the webapp is in the correct "state" for that, i.e. I think that the selection only works in "table view", which is the "all experiments" flat table

2. Could we add a filter on the project name in the "All Experiments" project?

You mean "filter by project" ?

Could we add the 

project

 for each of the search results? (see above picture where there's identical-named tasks, in different projects, but one cannot tell which is which)

I think you see it in the table itself? Do you mean on the card (when searching from the dashboard) ?

Of course :)

You can select tasks in different projects in table view or you can add experiments to an existing compare
