Insights Page

Powered by Looker and built directly into the Gamma web app, Insights transforms the rich production data flowing through your studio into clear, real-time reports, so you always know exactly what's happening on the floor, where bottlenecks are forming, and how your team and vendors are performing. From flow reports and progress tracking to sample and vendor reports, Insights gives studio managers and stakeholders the visibility they need to act with confidence.

Creative Force utilizes Looker to feature built-in reports. These reports give you real-time insights into your Productions, Samples, user productivity, and much more. To get started, head to Insights along the top menu bar of Gamma.

While the Insights page will be visible to any users with access to the web app, whether or not they are able to view any of the related reports depends entirely on their User Role Permissions.

Under the Insights subsection of the User Role permissions, each report can be controlled independently by selecting a permission level.

On the left side column of the page is the report navigation menu. This menu allows you to search for specific reports or explore reports by category.

After having selected a report from the side menu, you will be brought to the specific report. The content varies between them, but certain options are always present.

Each report includes a flexible filter bar that lets you narrow results by a combination of fields. In each field, you will choose an operator (is, is not, contains) and pair it with a value. The available filters vary between reports to be specific to their use-case.

Once you have selected the desired operators and values, hit the Reload icon to run the report with the currently set filters and generate your data.

Depending on the report, your data will be generated and displayed in various formats. For most reports, the data will be broken down into separate tiles. Common tile types include table views, single-value (KPI) tiles, single-record views, and chart types like column, bar, scatter, line, pie, timeline, or word cloud.

Tiles often have independent actions that can be triggered when hovering over the tiles, including drill-downs, tile actions, and alerts.

When hovering over certain tiles containing breakdowns, such as total numbers or visualized bars, selecting the visualization will bring up a drill-down menu that alternatively presents the data represented as a table breakdown.

From the drill-down pop-up menu, you can download the results as a CSV or view the specific filters in full to better understand how the results are being generated:

Selecting the bell icon when hovering over a tile allows you to set up an alert. Alerts let users subscribe to threshold-based notifications on individual tiles rather than needing to keep re-checking the same report.

To directly download the results of a tile in table format to your machine, you can select the download action via the tile's 3-dot menu and define the specifications.

Besides actions that can be taken at the tile-level, the top right corner of the report has its own 3-dot menu and corresponding actions. These act at the report level.

Scheduled Deliveries convert a report from a manual checking process into a targeted delivery to a specific destination. They can be configured to run automatically on a timer and include only the specific information you want.

For example, if you want to schedule a report that shows all the Product Requests that were shot each week, select the report Capture Productivity → Click Schedule Delivery → Filter and choose ‘Photography Finished Date' is 'In the last 7 days.'
