What are Insights?
Once your projects are connected to Keypup, it's time to handle your first dashboards and thus to manipulate Insights.
Insights are the backbone of Keypup. They allow you to expose and contextualize data imported from your projects. They come in many forms and each type of insight allows you to visualize information differently.
Keypup provides you with configurable Insights templates to get you started faster, and also allows you to create Insights from scratch (Blank Templates).

Reports (Tables)
This is a representation of data in a spreadsheet-like form. Reports allow you to simply list records in a dataset, deepdive on a specific topic and compare values, or display data by categories. They are a streamlined and efficient way to see data sorted or run comparisons.
Building process of reports is similar to Charts.

Cards
Cards are “project management-like” listings for you and your team to follow the state or progress of any part of a project. They aim to display all items that match dedicated filters, based on your development or task management tools (Jira, Trello, ClickUp, Github..).
They come in two forms:
Cards feed are a single column of cards and are used to follow a list of issues and/or pull requests matching the conditions specified in your filters (e.g. assigned to me, open and overdue, security issues etc..)
Boards are made of multiple columns used to follow a development process (e.g. Agile board where cards go from left to right) or to split cards into topical categories (e.g. severity 1 to severity 4 bugs)
