# Insights

Insights is the analytics area in Desk: dashboards that show how your business is doing across revenue, invoices, usage, wallet balances, customers and growth. This page shows where to find each dashboard and explains the rules every tile follows. The pages below it describe each dashboard tile by tile, with the formula behind every number.

## Where to find Insights

In Desk, open **Insights** in the left-hand navigation. It has four pages: **Overview**, **Details**, **Growth** and **Ask**. **Details** has five tabs: **Revenue**, **Invoices**, **UsageMeters**, **UsageWallets** and **Customers**.

## The dashboards

| Page                                                                                         | The question it answers                                                                                                |
| :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [Overview](/platform-guides/analytics-reporting/insights/overview)                           | How much did we bill, how many customers are we billing, and what is overdue?                                          |
| [Details: Revenue](/platform-guides/analytics-reporting/insights/details/revenue)            | Where does revenue come from (recurring, usage, one-off, per customer, per product), and what is already scheduled?    |
| [Details: Invoices](/platform-guides/analytics-reporting/insights/details/invoices)          | How much of what we invoiced is paid, pending or overdue, and how old are the unpaid invoices?                         |
| [Details: UsageMeters](/platform-guides/analytics-reporting/insights/details/usage-meters)   | How many usage events arrive, per meter and per customer?                                                              |
| [Details: UsageWallets](/platform-guides/analytics-reporting/insights/details/usage-wallets) | What is a customer's credit balance, and how fast is it being used?                                                    |
| [Details: Customers](/platform-guides/analytics-reporting/insights/details/customers)        | How is one customer doing: revenue, projection, open balance and invoices?                                             |
| [Growth](/platform-guides/analytics-reporting/insights/growth)                               | How is recurring revenue moving (new, expansion, contraction, churn), and how well do we retain customers and revenue? |
| [Ask](/platform-guides/analytics-reporting/insights/ask)                                     | Anything the fixed dashboards don't answer: ask a question in plain language and get a chart or table back.            |

The [metric glossary](/platform-guides/analytics-reporting/insights/metric-glossary) lists every metric on one page.

## How the numbers are calculated

Every dashboard follows the same rules. When a tile deviates from them, its description says so.

### Billed revenue counts final invoices

Revenue tiles count **final** invoices only: invoices that are finalised, numbered and issued. They leave out draft, open, void and future invoices, unless a tile is explicitly about them (such as the invoice status breakdown or future revenue). For the meaning of each status, see [Invoice lifecycle](/platform-guides/invoicing/invoices/invoice-lifecycle).

* **Credit notes** are final invoices with a negative total, so they reduce revenue in the period they belong to.
* **Empty invoices** are never counted.
* **Future** invoices are invoices Solvimon has already generated for upcoming billing periods of active subscriptions. They only count in future revenue, the status breakdowns and Active customers on Overview.

### Tax

Tiles built from **invoice totals** include tax: billed revenue, total invoiced, paid, pending, overdue and outstanding amounts. Tiles built from **invoice lines** exclude tax: revenue split by type, customer or product, future revenue, ARR, NRR and every metric on Growth. Each tile description states which one it uses.

### Currency

Insights shows all amounts in your platform's reporting currency, which you set in Desk under **Settings → Platform**, in the **Reporting currency** field. It converts invoices in another currency with the average exchange rate of the invoice's month for that currency pair. Invoices dated in a month that has no rate yet, such as future invoices, use the most recent rate. Growth converts each invoice at the rate of its invoice date. The differences between these methods are small, but they are why converted totals can differ slightly from a sum you calculate yourself.

Usage events and wallet credits are not money and are never converted.

### Dates

Each tile uses one of these dates. The tile descriptions say which.

| Date                 | What it is                                                                                                                                 | Typical use                                                            |
| :------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Invoice date         | The day the invoice was issued                                                                                                             | "This month" figures, month-on-month comparisons, invoices per month   |
| Billing period month | The month in which the invoice's billing period starts. Invoices without a billing period, such as one-off invoices, use the invoice date. | Revenue per month on Overview, Details: Revenue and Details: Customers |
| Due date             | The day payment is due                                                                                                                     | Overdue, pending and AR aging                                          |
| Service period       | The start and end date of each invoice line                                                                                                | MRR on Growth, which spreads each line over the days it covers         |
| Event timestamp      | The timestamp on the usage event                                                                                                           | Details: UsageMeters                                                   |

The difference matters when you bill in arrears. An invoice issued on 1 November for October usage has an invoice date in November and a billing period month of October, so it lands in November on an invoice-date chart and in October on a billing-period chart. The same holds for catch-up invoices: an invoice issued in March for January lands in January on billing-period charts.

### Data freshness

Insights shows invoice, usage and wallet changes within about five minutes. It recalculates growth metrics and the NRR tile on Details: Revenue every hour.

### Filters

Each dashboard has its own filters at the top of the page. Not every tile responds to every filter: tiles that always show "this month" or "the last 12 months" ignore the date filter. The dashboard pages list the filters each tile responds to.

### Access

Insights only ever queries your own platform's data. Where Desk embeds a dashboard for a single customer, every tile shows that customer's data only.

## Why doesn't a number match what I see elsewhere?

Check these in order:

1. **Status.** Revenue tiles count final invoices only. The invoice list in Desk also shows draft, open and void invoices.
2. **Date.** Check whether the tile uses the invoice date or the billing period month.
3. **Tax.** Invoice-total tiles include tax; line-based tiles exclude it.
4. **Currency.** Insights converts everything to your reporting currency; invoices and reports show the invoice currency.
5. **Payment status.** Paid, pending and overdue figures only work when payments are synchronised to Solvimon and invoices are marked as paid.
6. **Timing.** A change reaches Insights within about five minutes, and Growth within an hour.

If a difference remains, [contact support](mailto:support@solvimon.com) with the tile name, the filters you used and an invoice you expected to see.
