Working with Narratives
Unless you have previously selected Saved Narratives to be your default view, Daily Narratives will be the first thing you see when logging on to INSIGHT. Clicking the ProGlove logo in the upper-left corner of the INSIGHT UI also takes you directly to the Daily Narratives tab.
Alerts are always on top and remain highlighted until you open them by clicking the MORE INFO button, where there are additional details on what exactly triggered the alert and requires attention. If a specific alert gets triggered multiple times throughout the day, note that only the numbers/data will change, while the displayed message remains the same. Once you're done reviewing the details, click LESS INFO to close the card.
Download some or all generated reports, from both Daily and Saved Narratives, in order to archive them and analyze them at a later time, or even work offline. Select the download icon above each report and download the data in a .csv file.
Once you review your daily reports, you can mark each one as Solved using the checkmark in the upper-right corner and they will disappear from the list.
In case all reports were solved, you will see the message:

FAQs
- 1. What is the main difference between alerts and reports?
- 2. The numbers I see in Narratives for My Organization and individual levels don't add up. What could be wrong?
- 3. Can I download all Narratives?
1. | What is the main difference between alerts and reports? |
While reports are created daily, based on the data collected within the last 24 hours, alerts can be triggered by events all throughout the day in almost real-time. | |
2. | The numbers I see in Narratives for My Organization and individual levels don't add up. What could be wrong? |
Most likely nothing is wrong. This topic always requires a bit of data analysis and context, as some Narratives contain complex conditions that may not be met on all levels. For example: Device X shows up in a Narrative for the whole organization as a scanner that made more than 100 scans. It has made exactly 101 scans, out of which 99 scans were done in Level1, and 2 scans in Level2. Hence, Device X will not be displayed in the same Narrative for any of the levels (or sublevels), but is displayed for the main, My Organization structure. | |
3. | Can I download all Narratives? |
You can download all reports that have the MORE INFO button. These contain tables with additional details, specific values and device information. Other reports are in the form of concise and actionable messages and can not be downloaded. Learn more here. |
