What you can do from Insights

Home

The Home page is your personal starting point in ThoughtSpot. It surfaces recently viewed content, recommended Liveboards and Answers, and learning cards to help you get up to speed quickly.

Spotter

Spotter is ThoughtSpot’s AI-powered conversational analytics experience. Ask questions about your data in plain language and get instant answers, charts, and follow-up suggestions — no SQL or data expertise required.

Search Data

Use Search Data to start a new, ad-hoc exploration of any data your team has made available to you. Type what you want to know — for example, total sales by region last quarter — and ThoughtSpot returns results instantly.

Liveboards

Liveboards are interactive dashboards that give you a real-time view of the metrics that matter most. Open any Liveboard to explore charts, drill down into data, and share insights with your team.

Answers

Answers are saved search results. When you run a search and want to revisit it later, you save it as an Answer. The Answers section is your personal library of those saved explorations.

SpotIQ Analysis

SpotIQ is ThoughtSpot’s AI engine for automated insight discovery. It scans your data for significant patterns, anomalies, and trends — and surfaces findings you might not have thought to look for.

Monitor Subscriptions

Set up threshold-based alerts on the data points you care about most. ThoughtSpot notifies you when a metric crosses a threshold you define, so you can act on changes as they happen rather than discovering them later.

Liveboard Schedules

Schedule any Liveboard to be delivered automatically — by email or Slack — at a cadence you choose. Keep your team informed without requiring everyone to log in and check manually.

Favorites

Pin your most-used Liveboards and Answers to Favorites for one-click access from the left navigation panel.
