FAQs

Q: How often do Engagement Data widgets update?
Standard in-app widgets update in real time. Advanced Analytics (Learn Amp Insights) widgets update once daily.

Q: Can I filter engagement data by team or group?
Yes—most Engagement Data widgets support user filters allowing you to focus on specific teams, groups, or individuals.

Q: What counts as a "session"?
A session is a period of continuous activity on the platform. Sessions end after a period of inactivity.

Q: Why is Learner Added Items empty?
This widget requires the "Users Add Items" feature to be enabled, and users need to have added content themselves.

Q: What time periods can I select for Sessions Over Time?
You can choose from 30, 60, or 90 days to view activity trends.

Q: Why can't I see Advanced Analytics in the Reporting area?
Advanced Analytics must be enabled for your organisation. Contact your administrator or success@learnamp.com if you believe this should be available.

Q: Why can't I see Learn Amp Insights in the widget picker?
Insights need to be created first using the Advanced Analytics editor. Go to ReportingAdvanced Analytics to create your first insight.

Q: Can I add the same insight to multiple dashboards?
Yes—once an insight is saved, you can add it as a widget to any dashboard you have edit access to.

Q: Who can see insights I create?
When saving an insight as a report, you can choose visibility: "Just me" keeps it private, "Everyone" makes it visible to all users with access to the Widget Catalogue.
