At the bottom of each insight, we’ll ask you to rate how helpful that insight was—on a scale of one to five stars. If you rate an insight highly, you’ll see it more often. If you rate it poorly, you’ll see it less often, and it may eventually disappear altogether. Be sure to leave feedback on each insight so you can customize your experience as much as possible.

Why don't I have any insights showing?

Your account activity may not be sufficient enough to generate any insights today.

Why do my Account Insights take so long to load?

Because this feature is in the trial phase, we have not fully optimized performance. Loading times will vary per usage, and you could occasionally experience slow performance.

What can I do if an insight isn't useful?

At the bottom of each insight, there is a black bar asking “How helpful was this insight?” with five stars underneath. For insights that you would no longer like to see, you can rate it one or two stars. The Account Insights will then determine that this is not helpful to you and will deprioritize that particular insight. It may take some time for the insight to stop showing.
