The Instant Insights feature allows users to rapidly uncover insights in their data with minimal effort. Users can choose to get a deeper explanation of the data they are seeing, or compare two data points on a chart to understand differences. Yellowfin will automatically perform data analysis, run a series of algorithms and rank the insights that it presents. Yellowfin’s narrative engine automatically interprets your findings for you and provides natural language explanations in summary or detail form. Once generated, the analysis can be edited, saved and shared with others or on dashboards.

Before you can perform Instant Insights, the system administrator will need to configure the Insights settings through the View builder. After that, users who have the correct security access to carry out the task will be able to use this functionality.
