Welcome! This guide provides some essential information to help you get started with Insights.

What is Insights?
Insights is HealthStream's new centralized reporting hub created to solve our customer's biggest pain points with current reporting.
The first phase of Insights development will focus on replacing the reports found on the HealthStream System's “Reports” page.
Insights is able to provide several advantages over current reporting:
- More Frequent Data Updates: HealthStream System report data updates once every 24 hours. Insights data currently refreshes every 3 hours.
- Run Larger Reports: Insights' more robust data engine will allow for larger reports to be run compared to HealthStream System Reports
- Custom Report Builder: Build your own custom report from scratch for reporting scenarios where a standard report doesn't provide what you need.
- More Flexible Standard Reports: Ability to add additional columns to your report, ability to apply a filter to any column in your report, etc.
- Better Scheduled Report Management: Admins can be provided with visibility to all scheduled reports across their organization, download prior report runs, "Run Now" capability, ability to change the schedule or recipients

Transition Phase - 12 Months
To ensure a smooth transition and allow your organization time to get familiar with Insights, there will be a 12-month transition period after an Insights report comes out where users can still utilize the HealthStream System’s reports it’s replacing.
Note: The 12-month transition period won't begin until all customers have been onboarded to Insights. Transition dates will be communicated on the HealthStream Learning Center's report page once the transition period begins.
How to Access Insights
Once a user has been given the Insights Administrator Role in the HealthStream System (see “Adding and Managing Users”), the user can access Insights by clicking the Insights link in the HLC's App Drawer.
NOTE: There will be up to a 3-hour delay after a user is granted the Insights Administrator Role before they can successfully access Insights through the App Drawer.
