Automated Insights
This page describes the Automated Insights capability.
Sometimes, a graph alone is not sufficient to convey all the granular meanings hidden under data and digging into it can be very time consuming and requiring specific technical skills.
For this reason, alongside with the Topic Chart, each Topic always comes with a set of additional information, called Automated Insights, that are directly related to it.
They represent information that can be extracted from the dataset underlying the Topic but cannot be represented on a graph.
Therefore Crystal doesn't just answer to your question providing punctual graphic information, but also helps you understand them better providing a complete and accurate description of what data are actually telling below the surface.
In particular, Automated Insights are based on a Data Analysis technique called Descriptive Analytics.
Pills of Data Analysis
Descriptive Analytics are called like this because they describe the dataset, especially focusing on what has happened in the past and on what is happening at present.
Discover The Hidden Insights
Accessing the Automated Insights of your Topics is straightforward:
first of all, make your question to Crystal
notice the Right Sidebar of the Advisor Workspace
there, you will find the list of all the Insights available for your Topic
At this point, you can scroll through the Insights provided and let them guide your analysis: the information provided will help you understand better which are the most relevant aspects of the Topic and how to continue your analysis.
Please Note
The number of available Insights for each Topic can change from a minimum of one Insight to twelve Insights maximum, based on the Topic's underlying data
Insights are dynamic: since they are always related to the Topic you just asked, they will always change based on your questions
How Do They Work?
As Descriptive Analytics, the Automated Insight can shed light of a number of information related to what happened to your data in the past and what is happening right now.
The number of Insights available for a Topic depends on the type of Objective and Visualization, because each Objective / Visualization has specific information that can be extracted from it.
However, the actual number of Insights shown for a requested Topic depends on the specific requirements needed to calculate each Insights.
Therefore, whenever a specific Topic is asked, Crystal detects the type of Objective / Visualization and, from the list of available Insights linked to it, tries to calculate as more applicable Insights as possible based on the specific data underlying the Topic.
The final result of displayed Insights can be a number between 1 and 12 Insights.

Following, you can find the complete list of the Automated Insights that Crystal is able to extract.
Please Note
This list reports the general purpose and logics of the analysis done by each Insight.
However, in practice, the specific calculations done vary slightly to adapt to the Objective / Visualization they are applied to.
Keep analyzing your data!
