Edit Missions

Customize Mission Summary Layout

This article describes the many ways to edit your Missions. If you have edit permission on a Mission, you have 2 options to enter edit mode:

  1. Open the Mission you want to edit and select Edit Mission in the top right corner.

Auto Insights provides flexibility and customization options for presenting your data and key performance indicators (KPIs). One way to do this is through Mission Summary layouts.

Choose between 3 layouts for your Mission Summary:

·   Full Insights—ideal for a detailed analysis of data.

·   Minimalistic—streamlined, focused, and perfect for highlighting key metrics in a concise view.

  2. Select Customize in the upper-right corner of the page card, then select Change layout.

Add Pages to Your Mission

There are 4 ways you can add a page within Mission:

First Option: Within Mission's edit mode, select + New Page on the left panel.

+ New Page link

Second Option: Select Edit Mission > Options  > Duplicate.

Tip: Use this method to keep the existing filters and breakdown from the 1st page in subsequent pages (it only works when the dataset remains the same). This saves you time and reduces effort on repetitive tasks!

Third Option: If you see a page in someone's Mission that you want to add to your own Mission, select Options > Add Page to Mission and create a new Mission or select an existing one.

Fourth Option: Select Add page to Mission from a Search page.

Reorder Pages

To reorder the pages, select the page that you want to reorder and drag the page to a new position.

Hide Insights That Don’t Matter

You can remove any story card (section) within the page you want to hide from the presentation view. To do so, select the eye icon to turn it off. When you hide a story on the page level Auto Insights does not display it at all on the Mission summary. However, Auto Insights might still call out this story on the chart and highlight it.

The card appears dimmed. Select the eye icon again to turn it back on.

Find New Insights with the Query Bar

Each page has a query bar that provides the focus of analysis for that specific page. Use this query bar to get Auto Insights to search for insights on a specific area.

Query bar in details

You can change the comparison period to compare against the previous month or the same month last year. Refer to this article onhttps://helpdesk.hyperanna.com/en/articles/4420578-time-comparisonTime Period comparison for details.

Customize Segment Relevancy

You can customize results for What caused this change? To do so, select Customize > Specify relevant segments on a Mission Summary card or the settings icon on a Mission page. If you're the owner of the dataset, the Customize segment relevancy window displays for you to customize.

If you're not the owner of the dataset, Auto Insights shows you the owners' email addresses. Ask an owner for access to customize the segment relevancy.

Note

This functionality isn't available for sample datasets.

Recommended Charts

Auto Insights uses Recommended Charts to connect the best charts with the insights shown. To make the recommendation, AAI looks at whether the insights are about TOTAL, CHANGE, or GOALS, the size of the segment, or if you are looking at a breakdown versus an overall metric. The goal is to help you create the most effective and informative chart possible with minimal effort.

To display a chart other than the recommended chart, select the Recommended Chart dropdown. Then select a new chart type. The chart type you choose displays. It also displays on the Mission Summary.

Recommended chart dropdown

To go back to the recommended chart, select the chart dropdown, then select Recommended Chart.

The chart options allow you to make further adjustments to a few charts and enable you to include a totals table (leaderboard table) to appear in the Insights email. Note that charts don't appear in the Insights email.

  • Line chart—Select to have the y-axis start from the selected range or from 0.
