About templates

Insights Templates enable you to generate predefined dashboards, such as Total Events Count or Total Visits Count, on demand.

How it works

A template consists of a dataset, an analysis, and a dashboard. A dataset is a collection of data in a database to be displayed in a dashboard. An analysis specifies the database fields and the visuals displayed in the dashboard.

The Template Details screen displays example of each of the visuals for the dashboard and a summary of information for each dataset used in the template.

For example, the following Template Details example shows a visual for the total events count dashboard:

The dataset information is displayed after the visuals, as follows:

Templates for predefined dashboards

The templates for the following predefined dashboards are based on predefined attributes from DataAccess (AudienceDB or EventDB):

• Total Events Count
  Displays information about event counts over time, event types, and the most frequently visited pages.
• Total Visits Count
  Displays information about visits, total events count per visit, visit duration.
• Total Visitors Count
  Displays information about visitors and visitor activity.

The data displayed in the events count, visits count, and visitors count dashboards is refreshed once a day, at night.
