FAQs
Why is there no data?
There are a variety of reasons an Insights report is blank. Try the following quick fixes:
Reset the report. A visualization may be filtering the report. Check the date controls. If the date is too far in the past, it may pre-date your activity in Element451.
Check what fields are being used. For example, if you aren’t using Milestones, your funnel report will not work.
If data is still missing, there may be issues with your data in Element. Check out this guide for data cleanup.
