Data Insight in DataWorks provides in-depth data analysis to help you gain insights. This feature supports data exploration and visualization, which lets you understand data distribution, create data cards, and combine them into data reports. You can also share the results as a long-image report. This feature uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to parse complex data and support your business decisions.

If the Data Range is not set to include all data, hover over the upper-right corner of a chart and save the chart to Cards.
FAQ
Q: Why does Data Insight show "No more cards"?
A: This may occur if the data set is too small to generate insights. For best results, run Data Insight on data sets that contain at least 500 entries.
Q: How do I troubleshoot a failed Data Insight analysis on a table?
A: Ensure that the data source can be connected and that queries can be executed successfully. You can test this by running a query in the SQL query tool.
