Create Insight Descriptions

To briefly summarize the data being represented in an individual insight, you can create Insight Descriptions.

View Insight Description

Insights with descriptions are indicated by the info icon ⓘ located to the right of the insight’s title.

To view an insight description, hover your cursor over the info icon ⓘ.

Add an Insight Description

  1. Select a dashboard from Content to open the Analyzer.
  2. Select Edit (pen icon) on the tile of the insight you want to add a description to.
  3. Select Click to Edit Insight Description under the insight title.
  4. Enter your description.
  5. Select Done to save your changes.

From the Analyzer, an info icon will appear next to the insight title. Hovering your cursor over the info icon will reveal the Insight Description.

Edit Insight Description

From the Analyzer:

  1. Select Edit (pen icon) on the tile of the insight you want to add a description to.
  2. Select the Current Insight Description under the insight title.
  3. Enter a new description.
  4. Select Done to apply your changes and return to the Analyzer.

Hover over the info icon next to the insight title to reveal the new description.

Use Variables with Insight Titles

In the insight title, you can personalize insight titles with:

  • Presentation Variables
  • Session Variables
  • System Variables

For example, you can automatically apply a user’s name or the current date to insight title by using the $$user or $$currentDate session variables. Additionally, here are some other examples of using variables:

  • To reference the current date system variable in an insight title, enter $$currentDate.
  • To reference a presentation variable named pvGroupBy, enter `$$pvGroupBy`.
  • To reference an internal session variable named ivarIsUserInGroupAdmin, enter `$$ivarIsUserInGroupAdmin`.

To reference a variable in an insight title:

  1. Select the Edit icon (pen) on the insight tile.
  2. Enter the variable using $$ syntax.
  3. Select Done to apply your changes and return to the Analyzer.

On the dashboard, the newly added variable will now show up in the insight’s title.
