App Basics

Apps are the core analytics experiences inside Insight Cloud.

Overview

An app is a complete, purpose-built analytics experience designed around a specific dataset, workflow, or business question.

Each app brings together curated dashboards, filters, KPIs, and AI-powered tools so you can explore insights without needing to build anything from scratch.
