Building a Workspace

4 min. readlast update: 03.25.2025

Workspaces in serve as customised dashboards, allowing users to organise and access their most relevant insights in a structured and logical manner. A workspace is essentially a collection of insights grouped into a unified view, making it easier for users to track key metrics and data trends in one place.

 

Prebuilt Workspaces

Prebuilt Workspaces are ready-made templates that can be imported into a user’s account to quickly set up insights and dashboards. Prebuilt workspaces, once imported, can be customised according to the users requirements. These templates provide a structured starting point, eliminating the need to build insights from scratch.

When viewing Prebuilt Workspaces, the displayed data consists of dummy data for demonstration purposes. However, once a user imports a workspace, all insights within it will automatically reflect the user's actual data, ensuring a personalised and accurate analytical experience.
