There are 12 charts within FEM Analytics that are separated into three groups: Performance, Impact, and Areas of Focus and Improvement. These charts, while packed with information, fall short of providing actionable recommendations for users.
Insights Hub replicates and goes beyond FEM Analytics, using clearer and more practical data visualizations. In addition, Insights Hub removes outliers and features benchmarking capabilities which you can read more about here.
KPI cards are found at the top of the Insights Hub dashboard and provide just the right amount of information for your organization’s needs. By just glancing quickly at each datapoint, you can easily understand how this datapoint performed compared to the previous year or to industry peers.
These analytics promote clarity and simplicity. Select View All to show all relevant datapoints for this dashboard. If you want to dig in further to a metric, simply clicking in to a card reveals a detailed year-over-year line graph and within year box chart.
