# Insights overview

> How boards, reports, and performance pages divide up the work of answering questions about QA results.

Insights holds the QA program's numbers, split across three surfaces. Boards
chart a metric over time.
Reports write an answer out in prose and send it on a schedule. Performance pages
break the same numbers down by team and by agent. All of them read the same
[evaluations](/guides/concepts/glossary#the-kinds-of-evaluation), so when two
screens disagree it is the filter or the grouping that differs, not the data.

**Insights** in the sidebar opens on **Boards**.

## Which surface answers your question

| What you are asking                                          | Open            | What you get                                                    |
| ------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| How has QA score moved this month, and does one channel lag? | **Boards**      | Charts you choose, filter, and keep                             |
| Can something summarize the week and email it to the team?   | **Reports**     | A written report Rulebase generates on a schedule               |
| How is this team doing, and who needs coaching?              | **Performance** | A team list, a page per team, a page per agent                  |
| What does the whole operation look like right now?           | **Radar**       | One ready-made page of headline numbers and six standing charts |

Two of these are gated, and the header tells you which way your workspace is set
up. If it shows a **Boards** / **Reports** switch, both are on. If it shows only
the word **Insights**, the reports page is off and boards are created from
**New** > **New board** rather than from the **Templates** row. If the
**Performance** card opens a flat list of agents with no teams above them, team
performance is off. Ask your Rulebase contact to turn either on.

## Before you start

* Everything here is built from evaluated interactions. Until a published
  scorecard has produced evaluations, these pages have nothing to draw.
* Who appears in performance views comes from the agent roster, not from who has
  a login. See [Manage the QA agent
  roster](/guides/quality-assurance/manage-agent-roster).
* Reading Insights needs a role carrying **View organization-wide reports and
  analytics** and, for the performance pages, **View agents and performance
  reports**. Every system role except **Agent** has both; agents get their own
  evaluations and performance instead.
* Grouping boards into sections, and managing boards you did not create, needs
  the **Manage organization settings** permission, in practice an admin.

## Boards are yours to arrange

A board is a custom dashboard: a set of charts you place, filter, and re-use.
Starting from a template is faster than building one chart at a time, because the
template arrives with the charts that usually belong together: a headline
number, a trend, and a channel breakdown.

1. Open **Insights**.
2. In the **Templates** row, click the template you want.
3. In **Create board from template?**, click **Create board**.

Rulebase creates the board and opens it. From there the date range at the top
applies to every chart on the page, and **Share** hands the board to colleagues.

<Tip>
  The **Templates** row shows only the first four templates. **New** > **New board**
  opens the full set with a search box and a **Blank board** option, and it is
  where **SLA** appears once you have SLA policies configured.
</Tip>

Charts are edited on the board itself rather than here: duplicating one, moving
it to another board, adding repeated filters, and exporting a drilldown are all
covered in [Manage charts on a custom
dashboard](/guides/insights/manage-dashboard-charts).

## Reports read like a written answer

A report is a written answer rather than a chart. Rulebase runs it on your
schedule, fills it from your QA data, and delivers it by email, Slack, or both.
Use one for the recurring "how did last week go" question.

Click **New report** on the **Reports** tab and describe what you want. The
composer opens with `Send me a weekly report of` already typed, and the
conversation that follows is where the report's subject, cadence, and recipients
get settled. Reports you already have appear under **Your reports** on the same
page.

<Note>
  The template cards on this page are samples. Clicking one opens a preview of what
  that kind of report looks like, filled with example content; it does not create
  the report. Use **New report** to get a real one, and mention the template's name
  if you want something shaped like it.
</Note>

## Performance answers "who"

The
**Performance** card leads to a list of teams with their QA scores, each team
opens onto its agents, and each agent has a page carrying their tickets,
evaluations, and coaching history. Use it when a board tells you something
moved and you need to know who it moved for. [Use team and agent
performance](/guides/insights/team-and-agent-performance) covers that route
end to end.

## Radar

**Radar** is the ready-made view: a row of headline metric cards over six
standing charts: QA score overview,
scorecard adherence, overall trends, handling time on service issues, complaints
by volume, and your top service issues. You cannot add to it or rearrange it;
it is the same page every time you open it, so changes stand out. The date range picker at the top right is yours to move.

Radar is also your homepage until you choose otherwise, so signing in usually
lands you here. Any board's card menu offers **Pin**, to keep it in the
**Pinned** section at the top of Insights, and **Make homepage** if a board you
built deserves that spot instead. Setting a team as your homepage does the same
thing, and either one replaces Radar as your landing page.

## Export the underlying rows

When someone needs the underlying tickets in a spreadsheet:

* One-off analysis: filter the Evaluations list and export a workbook. See
  [Export QA evaluation
  data](/guides/quality-assurance/export-qa-evaluations).
* A recurring spreadsheet in an inbox, or QA data landing in your warehouse:
  [Schedule recurring exports](/guides/insights/schedule-exports).
* The conversations behind a single chart segment: open the drilldown and use
  **Export as CSV**, as described in [Manage charts on a custom
  dashboard](/guides/insights/manage-dashboard-charts).
