# Insights for groups **(ULTIMATE)**
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/725) in GitLab 12.0.
|
|
|
|
Configure insights to explore data about you group's activity, such as
|
|
triage hygiene, issues created or closed in a given period, and average time for merge
|
|
requests to be merged.
|
|
You can also create custom insights reports that are relevant for your group.
|
|
|
|
## View group insights
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites:
|
|
|
|
- You must have [permission](../../permissions.md#group-members-permissions) to view the group.
|
|
- You must have access to a project to view information about its merge requests and issues,
|
|
and permission to view them if they are confidential.
|
|
|
|
To access your group's insights:
|
|
|
|
1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Groups** and find your group.
|
|
1. On the left sidebar, select **Analytics > Insights**.
|
|
|
|
## Interact with insights charts
|
|
|
|
You can interact with the insights charts to view details about your group's activity.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Display different reports
|
|
|
|
To display one of the available reports on the insights page, from the **Select report** dropdown list,
|
|
select the report you want to display.
|
|
|
|
### View bar chart annotations
|
|
|
|
To view annotations, hover over each bar in the chart.
|
|
|
|
### Zoom in on chart
|
|
|
|
Insights display data from the last 90 days. You can zoom in to display data only from a subset of the 90-day range.
|
|
|
|
To do this, select the pause icons (**{status-paused}**) and slide them along the horizontal axis:
|
|
|
|
- To select a later start date, slide the left pause icon to the right.
|
|
- To select an earlier end date, slide the right pause icon to the left.
|
|
|
|
### Exclude dimensions from charts
|
|
|
|
By default, insights display all available dimensions on the chart.
|
|
|
|
To exclude a dimension, from the legend below the chart, select the name of the dimension.
|
|
|
|
## Configure group insights
|
|
|
|
GitLab reads insights from the
|
|
[default configuration file](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/ee/fixtures/insights/default.yml).
|
|
|
|
To configure group insights:
|
|
|
|
1. Create a new file [`.gitlab/insights.yml`](../../project/insights/index.md#configure-project-insights)
|
|
in a project that belongs to your group.
|
|
1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Groups** and find your group.
|
|
1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > General**.
|
|
1. Expand **Insights**.
|
|
1. Select the project that contains your `.gitlab/insights.yml` configuration file.
|
|
1. Select **Save changes**.
|
|
|
|
<!-- ## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
Include any troubleshooting steps that you can foresee. If you know beforehand what issues
|
|
one might have when setting this up, or when something is changed, or on upgrading, it's
|
|
important to describe those, too. Think of things that may go wrong and include them here.
|
|
This is important to minimize requests for support, and to avoid doc comments with
|
|
questions that you know someone might ask.
|
|
|
|
Each scenario can be a third-level heading, for example `### Getting error message X`.
|
|
If you have none to add when creating a doc, leave this section in place
|
|
but commented out to help encourage others to add to it in the future. -->
