When you click Create in Insights to build a report, the Getting started! window shows your Upsales data split up into categories called Explores. Select the Explore that holds the data you want to use in your report.
Create is shown to administrators and to users an administrator has added under Settings → Analytics → Upsales Insights → Users with explore access.
There are two reasons for splitting up the data this way;
-
Avoiding clutter by improving usability
When starting out in Insights, you might be intimidated by a large number of dimensions and measures available for use. Breaking the data down into these Explores makes it easier to start out.
-
Optimising speed
Combining different types of data across the whole database can cause long run times making the tool slower.
NOTE: Let us know if something crucial is missing from an Explore; this can probably be added by our BI consultants
You can also bypass Explores, and combine data that is split up as standard. To try this, message your account manager or Upsales support.
