Instant Insights are enabled via the Auto Analyse option available in the tooltip. This leads to two options: Explain and Compare. Refer to the procedures below to understand how both of these work.
|
Using this option, Yellowfin will explain the underlying data drivers that impact the particular metric you have chosen. For example, in our example below, the business user has selected Sales for Europe and then chosen the Explain option from the tooltip. Yellowfin will access additional data elements from the underlying data view, and then run a series of algorithms to determine statistically relevant insights and present these back to the user.
A new Auto Analysis panel will appear in the report builder, displaying the results of the analysis process. These insight results will be displayed in order of statistical relevance.
The chart type selected by Yellowfin depends on the type of data. For example, if the values are both metrics, then a scatter plot graph will be generated. |
Using this option, Yellowfin will analyse the data that best explains the difference in values for a particular metric between two dimension or date values. For example, in the screen shot below – the business user has selected Sales for Asia and then chosen the Compare option from the tooltip. The user can then compare Asia to another region . Yellowfin will access additional data elements from the underlying data view, and then run a series of algorithms to determine statistically relevant drivers of difference and present these back to the user. The steps are:
Once insights appear in the Auto Analysis panel, you can save these to be used later or to share them with other users.
This will be added to the activity stream of the chart or dashboard. Click here to learn more about the Activity Stream.
