Overview
What is Insights?
Insights is Element451’s embedded suite of analytics dashboards and reporting tools that helps Element451 partners identify trends and make data-informed decisions.
Accessing Insights
The Insights module can be accessed from the Data + Automations dropdown in the top navigation.
In November 2022, Element451 lifted the cap for the number of Insights readers (viewers). Now any Element451 user can be granted permission to view Insights dashboards. Each Insights dashboard has its own permissions.
If you do not see Insights or a particular dashboard, you may not have permission to access the Insights module or that dashboard.

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.
