Creating insights

Updated on October 29, 2021
Applicable to Cosmos React and Theme Cosmos applications

Collect specific information about your application, and save it in a clear visual form to support the process of data analysis. For example, you can create a list-based insight that provides data about resolved assignments, and then filter the content by application users to analyze their performance.

Before you begin: Add the Explore Data page to your application. For more information, see Organizing the main menu for a portal
Note: You can add the Explore Data page only if your application uses a Cosmos React or Theme Cosmos in hybrid mode.
.
  1. In the navigation pane of your application, click Explore Data.
  2. In the What would you like to explore? list, select specific type of data for which you want to create an insight.
  3. In the upper-right corner of the screen, click Save as insight.
  4. In the Save as insight dialog box, provide details for your insight:
    1. In the Name field, enter a unique name for the insight.
    2. In the Visibility list, select who can see your insight.
      For example: Select Shared to share the insight with your access group.
    3. Optional: To give the chart a supplementary title, select the Show title check box, and then customize the title.
    For example: In the Title alignment list, display the chart title in the center by selecting Center.
    1. Click Submit.
What to do next: You can view and access your insights in the Insights section of the Explore Data landing page.
  • Customizing list-based insights

    Decide what data you want to present in your insights by using intuitive tools that provide options to filter, sort, and group the data. For example, you can filter an insight to include only resolved assignments, so that you can analyze the performance of a whole department. Then, you can group the results by teams to compare their work.

  • Customizing chart-based insights

    Adjust the appearance and contents of chart-based insights to visualize only the specific information that is relevant to your business needs. For example, in a flight booking application, you can visualize data about recent reservations, and then filter the results by specific destinations to analyze the latest trends in business.

  • Converting tables to charts

    Improve the look of your application by creating visually appealing insights that present data in a modern and intuitive manner. For example, you can convert simple list-based insights to interactive charts to ensure a user-friendly experience when analyzing data.

  • Managing the visibility of insights

    Control which insights are accessible to other users of your application by setting specific visibility options. For example, as an application administrator, you can make your insights available for use on landing pages by exposing the insights as public visibility.
