Tips and considerations

  • This feature is available only for Dashboards 2.0.
  • The Insights job must have already been run to see the insights in a dashboard.
  • If GenAI is enabled, you see a GenAI-enhanced summary of each insight. If GenAI is not enabled, you see the template-based summary of each insight. 
  • If you add insights to a dashboard used as a landing page, the insights display inherits the Appearance options.
