This allows you to focus on specific subsets of your data, but it does not create separate sections in the report for each run type automatically. Filtering is done in the sidebar of the report UI, as described in user discussions and support responses [Slack thread](https://slack.com/archives/C02CTC89LAX/p1669737256245109). 2. Filtering by Invocation: Elementary supports generating a report filtered by a specific dbt invocation (i.e., a specific run of dbt test or dbt build). You can generate a report for the last invocation, by invocation time, or by invocation ID using the --select flag with edr report. For example: edr report --select last_invocation edr report --select "invocation_time:2022-12-25 10:10:35" edr report --select invocation_id:XXXXXXXXXXXXX This will limit the report to the results of a specific run, which can help you distinguish between different scheduled runs if you know their invocation details. However, this does not aggregate or group runs by type (main, weekly, monthly) unless you manage invocation metadata externally or via naming conventions [Generate observability report](https://docs.elementary-data.com/oss/guides/generate-report-ui). 3. Custom Naming or Metadata: Some users have worked around limitations by using different test names, aliases, or tags for different run types, but this can require duplicating test definitions and careful management. There is a known limitation where Elementary may only treat the first instance of each unique test name per model, so using unique names/aliases for different run types is necessary if you want them to appear separately in the report [Slack thread](https://slack.com/archives/C02CTC89LAX/p1693490863570299). 4. Disabling Elementary for Ad-hoc Runs: If you want to ensure only scheduled runs (e.g., daily, weekly) are included in the report, you can disable Elementary's on-run-end hooks for ad-hoc runs using a variable or by configuring your dbt project accordingly. This prevents ad-hoc runs from polluting your main report data [Slack thread](https://slack.com/archives/C02CTC89LAX/p1710871555212829). Summary: While you cannot natively group or label runs as "main", "weekly", or "monthly" in the Elementary report UI, you can use tags, invocation filtering, and careful test naming to approximate this distinction. For more advanced separation, you may need to manage metadata or generate separate reports for each run type. If you have a specific workflow or need more granular separation, please provide more details, and I can suggest a more tailored workaround.
