Insights are a dynamic and easy-to-use data-gathering feature for staff and library administrators. You can set your own display settings, timeframes, metrics, and more in your Insights Dashboard, making your most important data just a click away. The data refreshes every 24 hours, so it’s perfect for a snapshot of your library’s reading progress.

- To tailor what sections appear on your dashboard, simply click the gear icon and choose what you want to view, like how many minutes were logged, the top books read, and a breakdown by age.
- Note: When you update the selections, the dashboard saves your preferences for all future visits.
If you switch between viewing data for all readers vs. viewing data for readers in specific challenges, keep in mind that some readers may be enrolled in multiple challenges, and thus may be counted twice in certain metrics (like minutes read or challenge registrations) when you’re viewing data for readers in challenges. For more information about how each metric is filtered, hover over the “i” icon to read its details.
Exporting CSV Data
To get into the nitty-gritty datapoints, click a section heading or number for a list of the data. From there, simply click “Export CSV” to download that spreadsheet onto your local device.
