by Beginning with PeopleTools 8.61, we can embed Insights dashboards in Fluid pages. Meet the users where they are in their workflow and provide an Insights dashboard on the page next to their data.
Combine fields for Insights Dashboards
Add Scripted Fields to Insights Index Patterns to manipulate data to create more meaningful visualizations for our users.
Format Numbers in Insights Dashboards
The Insights default number format can clutter charts with excessive precision.
What if you want just to show one, or maybe no decimals in your chart?
Refresh Insights Index Patterns
Deleting and recreating your Insights Index Patterns removes all formatting and formulas. There also is a good chance to break all your visualizations using that Index Pattern.
