[Feature]: Automatically group metrics into windows in the GUI
See original GitHub issueDescription
I would like a way of designating a metric when I log it to appear in the Hidden Windows section*.
It is annoying that if I push to a new project I have to go through and sift out all of the metrics that I want to store but not show.
(or maybe even a separate window section.)
Suggested Solution
something like Wandb.log(METRIC, hidden=True) (where the default is hidden=False). Then the GUI sorts metrics based on the hidden flag.
Alternatives
Ideally, there would be a metric_group field, that allowed metrics to be displayed in separate GUI windows automatically.
Alternatively, maybe if one could copy the GUI config from one project to another? If there is a setting for a particular metric in the GUI config then it is applied to the new project.
Additional Context
We use projects for sorting experiments to keep individual projects smaller and easier to use. I realise this is maybe not the most common modus operandi, however…
