Managing outlier commits via the Configurations page

To manage outlier commits via the Configurations page:

1. From the Setting page, click Configurations.
2. To view all manually marked outliers, in the Outlier tab of the Configurations page, select View all manually marked outliers in the top right.
3. To reprocess all of the existing commit data, click the Rescore all past commits button. It can take up to 24 hours to rescore past commits.

After you click the View all manually marked outliers button, the Manually marked outliers modal appears. All manually marked outliers appear in this list.

In this modal there are 3 actions you can take:

• Manually mark any commit in the list as an outlier or normal commit.
• Reset all manually marked commits.
• Reset manually marked commits individually.

Manually marking a commit in the list as an outlier or normal commit.

Marking a commit as an outlier means you are re-marking it as an outlier commit.

Marking a commit as normal returns the commit to all reports and metrics within Flow. The commit remains in this list but won't be eligible to be re-scored by your Advanced outlier detection settings.

Reset all manually marked commits

Doing this resets all of the manually marked outliers in your account. This includes those you or anyone else from your organization set previously. Reset commits no longer appear in the manually marked outliers list, but they are eligible to be re-scored by your Advanced outlier detection settings.

Click Reset all manually marked outliers.

All commits in the list will be grayed out as seen below. Re-add any commits if necessary.

To update your manually marked outliers list, click Update.

A modal appears asking you to confirm your decision. If you're ready to reset all the manually marked outliers, click Yes, update my list.

All of the removed commits are eligible to be re-scored by your Advanced outlier detection settings if applicable.

Reset manually marked commits individually

Reset commits individually. Reset commits no longer appear in the list, and are eligible to be re-scored by your Advanced outlier detection settings.

1. Click Reset next to the commit you would like to remove from the Manually marked outliers list.

   

2. The commit grays out. If you want to undo manually resetting a commit, add it back to the list.

   

3. Once you're done making changes to individual commits, click Update.
4. A modal appears asking you to confirm your decision. If you're ready to remove the individual commit from the manual exclusion list, click Yes, update my list.

You successfully removed the individual commit from the manual excusing list. This commit is eligible to be re-scored by your other Advanced outlier detection settings if applicable. The commit is removed from your manually marked outliers list.

If you reset a commit individually and make changes to a commit’s state, such as marking an outlier as normal or vice versa, the warning message below appears.
