The Insight dashboard appears as soon as you open Insight. The dashboard displays information about KPIs that are specific to you.
The dashboard displays user-specific KPIs and the following items:
Budget and actual values for the current time period
Actual values for the last two time periods
Budget values for the next two time periods
Year-to-date values for actual and budget
Positive and negative trends between periods
Where actual versus budget variances in KPI values occur
Which variances are predicted to be unfavorable in future time periods
Which KPIs have custom alerts set for them, or associated actions
The Key Performance Indicator column shows the description or ID of the KPI. Expand the KPI to show the accounts beneath the account of the defined KPI. Select a KPI ID or description to view a chart of the account data.
