The following insight pages are available via the Explore Insights page:

See below for details pertaining to each individual insights page. 

Year End Insights

Aggregated insights from Year End Summaries. Users can filter by the Custom Form used to document the meeting notes, time frame (myFolio Cycle), supervisor, and employee. Users can download a CSV file of the Year End Summary Insights including the employee name(s) and email(s), the date the respective note was published, and a summary of the note information. Users with no direct reports will only see their own data. 

Mindful Minute Insights

Details and aggregated results from employee Mindful Minutes. Users can filter by "All Employees",  "Direct Reports", or for specific employees.  Users can also adjust the time-frame for the displayed data. Users with no direct reports can only see their own data. Users can also download a CSV file of the Mindful Minutes Insight Data on this page. 

If an employee has an average sentiment of 3 or less, there will be a "Reach Out" clickable link that will open an email dialog pre-addressed to the employee.

Word Cloud for Five Words

Word cloud of the Five Words your school's Folio users used to describe themselves. The size of each word corresponds to the frequency of use across users on the platform. Users can print out the Word Cloud and filter by Groups. 

Activity Log
