What's an insight?
“Insights” are pieces of content where you can combine text, charts, tables, or images to share your ideas. It can be anything you want. You can create:
- Presentations
- Dashboards
- Recurrent reports
Insights – like charts and datasets - are stored in your repositories and can be created and edited by you or anyone in your team. Once published, they will have a permanent URL address that can be easily shared (more sharing options will be available soon).
