Chart on separate axis or show only in the tooltip

For each insight, you have the option to chart on a separate axis or only show in the tool tip hover. This will help you to highlight multiple metrics on a single chart


Tables

Insights can be used in tables. They will be added a sub-row to the primary metric.
