View narrative insights in the Assistant

You can now see narrative insights for your data in the Assistant, with or without a chart. Narrative insights are auto-generated and help you see meaningful aspects of your data in natural language. Before Cognos Analytics 12.0.0, narrative insights were available only on the Analytics panel for dashboard visualizations.

The Assistant displays narrative insights automatically when it renders a chart or a visualization. Any filters in the chart are also applied to the insights.

You can also ask the Assistant to show you narrative insights without a chart by using commands such as:
  • show insights for <column name>
  • explain <column name>
  • analyze <column name>
