Deciphering insights in reports could be tedious. Zia Insights helps understand the relationships (correlations) in the data, highlights the key points like trends, outliers, and top contributing measures, and also predicts future outcomes based on the past data.

Note : Currently, Zia Insights is available in English language and in Spanish language for selective users. The support for other languages will be made available subsequently. To try Zia Insights in Spanish language, please mail us at  support@zohoanalytics.com  

Invoking Zia Insights

You can invoke the Zia Insights either from the individual report or from reports embedded in a dashboard.

From Report

Clicking the Zia Insights button at the top-right will get you the automatic insights displayed on the right side of the report. 

From Dashboard

Clicking the Zia icon in the toolbar in the embedded report will invoke Zia Insights. 

Types of Insights

The following are some of the types of insights you will get from Zia Insights. 

Inclining and Declining

Highlights the highest inclining and declining points. 

Trend and Seasonality

Gets the trend and seasonality present in the series. 

Predictive Analysis

Predicts the future outcomes and performances based on the past data.

Note:

1. Forecast Insights will be generated for any timeseries data that has a minimum of six continuous data points.
2. The forecast insights are provided only for medium and high verbosity narratives.
3. Forecast insights will be generated for reports irrespective of whether you have applied forecasting in your reports or not. In both cases, three predictions will be generated.
4. The Settings specified in the Forecast section while creating a report will be used to generate Zia Insights. For example, if you choose the Forecast Model to be Exponential Smoothing, then the Zia Insights for forecast will be generated based on the same model.

Pareto Analysis

Gets the top few categories that contribute to the total. 

Variance Analysis

Gets the data set deviation behaviour.

Comparison Analysis

Customizing Zia Insights

Zoho Analytics provides the following customizing options. 

• Language 
• Verbosity
  

Language

Zia Insights supports the following languages. 

• English
• Spanish
  

By default, the language will be selected based on your local language settings. You can customize it by clicking the Language icon and selecting the required language. 

Verbosity

The Verbosity option allows you to customize the narrative insights. Zia Insights supports three levels of narration. They are:

• Low
• Medium
• High
  

Low

The Low gets directly inferable insights from the report.

Medium

The Medium will add date as an additional dimension to the report and get insights based on time series and seasonality.

• Note: If a formula column is part of the report, then the date series will not be added to the report. This is to avoid incorrect insight.
  

In the High mode, along with the time series insights, you will get insights for each sub-section.
