This article describes how to enable and use the Visual Insights, a new feature in Analyze Essentials.
This feature adds two charts to each report, allowing Admins to quickly spot patterns and relationships in the data.

If you are new to Analyze Essentials, please review the main article, which provides an overview of the feature and how it works.

Enabling Visual Insights

On the Add Report page, click on the Show data visuals toggle.

To hide the visuals, click Hide data Visuals.

Supported Visualization Types

Supported visualization types include:

1. Indicator: A single number indicating total records in the Report.
   • For example: the total number of Lessons in the Report.
     
      
2. Pie: A chart categorizing all records by the value of a field. 
   • For example: all Lessons in the Report broken down by their type.
     
      
3. Bar: A chart showing bars representing a particular value of a field. Relative bar heights is determined by the total number of records with that value. Only the 10 highest bars will be shown.
   • For example: Top 10 Courses by Lesson count (only Lessons in the Report count toward the totals).
     

Changing Visualizations

Click on the icon to change a visualization.

The Change Chart page will appear, with the current visualization selected.
Click to see all supported visualization types and field options.

A field does not have to be a column in the report in order to be used in a visualization.
 

Available Actions

Consider the following when interacting with Visual Insights:

• Click on one of the options in the list or X to close the drop down.
• Click Apply to close the Change Chart page and apply the changes.
• Click Cancel to close the Change Chart page without making any changes.

When a Filter is applied to the report, the visualizations will update to show filtered results.

Sharing Visualizations

When a report is shared, data visualizations will be shared as well, including any changes made to the default visualization types and fields.

When a report is exported to a CSV, the visualizations will not be exported. CSVs can only contain text-based data.
