# Dashboard Insights

> Analyze activity trends in your MainWP Dashboard with Insights. This core feature is configured from Network Activity Settings and helps you monitor usage patterns across your Dashboard and child sites.

Dashboard Insights is a core feature of MainWP Dashboard. It turns activity logs into charts, summaries, and trend widgets.

## What You'll Learn

* Where to access Dashboard Insights and its settings page
* How the shared settings work
* How to filter Insights data for specific date ranges, tags, clients, and users
* How to export widget charts and data

## Prerequisites

* MainWP Dashboard
* Network Activity logging enabled in **MainWP > Settings > Network Activity Settings**
* Recorded activity data; otherwise activity-based widgets may be empty

***

## Access Dashboard Insights and Settings

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Dashboard Insights">
    Go to **MainWP > Insights** (`admin.php?page=InsightsOverview`).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Insights settings">
    Go to **MainWP > Settings > Network Activity Settings** (`admin.php?page=SettingsInsights`).
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  The settings page is named **Network Activity Settings** because it is shared.\
  Network Activity and Dashboard Insights use the same underlying logs dataset, but each feature presents it differently.
</Info>

## Use the Widgetized Insights Dashboard

Insights is widgetized like the Operations page. Use **Page Settings** to show or hide widgets, drag widgets to reorder them, and use **Layout** in the header to save or load layouts.

## Filter Insights Data

Click **Show Filters**, then narrow the Insights data by:

* Date range (including custom range)
* Tags
* Clients
* Users

## Export Chart Data and Images
