About Metric Insight Summaries

Tableau Next displays a summary of the insights related to those metrics. Tableau Next creates the insight summary differently, depending on whether Tableau Agent with conversational analytics is enabled or not. When the agent isn't enabled, insight summaries are created based on the metrics you follow (two or more required). When the agent is enabled, Tableau Next creates insight summaries using Agentforce (no followed metrics needed).

When Tableau Agent with conversational analytics is enabled in Tableau Next, metric insight summaries are automatically generated in your preferred language and don't require followed metrics. These insight summaries are available in the metric details page and for the top ranked insight in a metric card.

Note
Note Insight summaries might consume flex credits when generated using Tableau Agent enabled for conversational analytics.

When the agent is turned off, Tableau Next leverages a large language model (LLM) to summarize the most significant changes, considering Period Over Period Change or Unusual Change insights detected by the system. The system prioritizes summarizing metrics with higher-impact insights (for example, metrics with unusual change are ranked higher).

The resulting insight summary provides a personalized overview in plain, natural language with rich text reference on the metric names to be found at the top of the Following page. To maximize consistency and performance, insight summaries are generated up to once every 24 hours upon your last homepage visit and cached for subsequent visits within the day.

The insights used for summaries are generated using natural language templates with values calculated using deterministic statistics. The prompt used to summarize these factual insights is thoroughly tested and consistently iterated.

Metric insight summaries are built on the Einstein Trust Layer, enabling trusted, ethical, and open AI-powered experiences without compromising data security and privacy. Like all generative AI features in Salesforce, users can also provide optional feedback on output they find to be biased, inaccurate, or inappropriate to help to improve the experience.

Note
Note For metric insight summaries that don't use the analytics agent, administrators need to enable the Metric Insight Summaries org preference and the Follow Tableau Next Metrics user permission, which are included in the Tableau Next platform license and available when enablement steps have been followed for the metric consumption experience.
