App Basics
Apps are the core analytics experiences inside Insight Cloud.
Overview
An app is a complete, purpose-built analytics experience designed around a specific dataset, workflow, or business question.
Each app brings together curated dashboards, filters, KPIs, and AI-powered tools so you can explore insights without needing to build anything from scratch.
