We’ve completely overhauled Insights, and you can now share your Echoes as presets with your teammates. Read on to learn more.
đź’ˇ An all new Insights
We haven’t made any major changes to Insights since the pre-Steady Status Hero days, which created a disconnect over time as we added new features like Live Goals. We’ve also consistently heard from customers that Insights was missing valuable information about participation at the team and individual level.
With that in mind, we stripped Insights back to studs and re-built it around two principles; showing a complete picture of how teams are working in Steady, and breaking down the data at an account, team, and individual level. The new Insights has grown to 9 reports, rolled up into a new everything-at-a-glance dashboard:
- Participation - this updated report covers check-ins like it used to, but now also includes goal update participation.
- Readership - this new report tells the other side of the participation story; if people are reading the check-ins and goal updates that get written.
- Goal progress - this new report details the amount of goal progress that’s been added for a given period, with useful data like weekly averages.
- Intentions met - the classic returns, but now with a dedicated report view.
- Blockers - like with Intentions met, this report now includes a dedicated view.
- Absences - this new report rolls up all the absences tracked in Steady.
- Meetings - this new report aggregates meeting durations that are tracked by our Google and Microsoft calendar integrations. If you’ve got a team or org-level goal to reduce meetings, this is a very, very handy report.
- Mood - another classic Insights report, now with a dedicated view.
- Activity - Instead of being a separate item in the Steady sidebar, the Activity report gets a new home within Insights proper.
All together, the new Insights delivers a much more comprehensive view how you’re working together as a team. We hope you like it.
As a bonus, because Insights no longer shows check-in entries, we added a control to the Smart Check-in view that lets you filter by status and mood.
🔉 Share your Echoes
A common Echoes request is a way to share them with teammates. We’re pleased to announce that you can now do exactly that, in a way that guarantees that Echoes never “leak” information a user wouldn’t otherwise have access to, or restrict shared Echoes down to the “lowest common permission denominator”.
Click on the overflow menu for any of your saved Echoes, and a new option lets you share your Echo as a preset with your teammates, similar to the presets that come packed in with Steady. You can share via URL, or you can share directly in Steady and deliver an action item to whomever you’re sharing with. Simple, permission-preserving, and effective.
As a reminder, if you haven’t checked out the new Steady desktop app, give it a try. It’s the very best way to use Steady.
