How can I filter CatLight to show / notify only for my personal builds?

I am evaluating CatLight.  I work on a team of about 200 developers, and the noise from the build notifications is just incredible.

I'd like to configure CatLight so that it shows notifications only for my builds.  I'd also like to filter the dashboard to show only builds triggered for me.  Are these things possible?

I understand focus mode will only show when I personally break the build, but I'd also like to know when my builds are green.

Thanks for sharing your findings! You can also check out CatLight V3 beta, where we improve the dashboard to focus only on actionable items and things that the current user would like to watch - https://support.catlight.io/i474-catlight-3-0-beta-new-action-center-multiple-dashboards-and-more 

In V3 the branch regex and "only my builds" settings has moved to the panel settings on the dashboard.

I feel dumb, but I couldn't easily search for "Only My Builds," so I'm leaving this with an answer for posterity.

The closest thing to what I want was found under:

  1. Edit --> Settings --> Notifications --> Show build notifications for --> My builds
  2. Edit --> Settings --> Branches --> Track only my branches

Setting those two things reduce 95% of the noise.  For the rest, you can right click a Build Configuration on the Dashboard for a specific branch and select "Hide."  For example, you'll see "CI_Build some-branch-I-do-not-care-about."  Just Right-click --> Hide and it will be removed from the dashboard.
