How to prevent Databricks notebooks from automatically appearing on the Experiments page?

DataMaster 0

When I create a new notebook on my Workspace on Azure Databricks, it automatically appears on the Experiments page, even if it's just a blank notebook. This is causing the experiments page to be filled with many 'false' experiments and makes it difficult for users in my team to find our main experiments without knowing key-words to filter the experiment names by. Is there anything I can do to prevent this issue? I am also not happy that the Experiments page doesn't offer the flexibility to create folder structures and organize different experiment runs better.

@DataMaster - Yes, its looks like a bug, but as per documentation it is a feature. So, if you have a support plan you can open a ticket and see what the response from engineering team would say on this behaviour.

As you are seeing notebook experiments in the experiment page because: "If no experiment is active, Azure Databricks creates a notebook experiment. A notebook experiment shares the same name and ID as its corresponding notebook.".

Hope this helps.
