Insights

Apr 5th 2023

Insights represent a group of tools that are used to better understand data in FetchEH. Insights can be used to view operational information, such as Inspections due in the next month, or to understand more complex data such as the age and type of septic systems in a particular watershed. Insights include Visualizations, Filters and Reports.

Key Concepts

Insights are derived using parent features, such as the System, Well or Facility. Using these parent features as a gateway, users can also apply Insights to understand information about related information, such as Septic Tanks, Drainfields, Permits, Inspections, Water Samples and more for System and Well features, or Inspections and Violations for a Restaurant, Body Art or Pool Facility. 

This is especially important for the System and Well features. You must add System components and table records to the System point (see Mapping/Data Collection for more) in order to access them in Insights tools. A mapped feature, such as a Septic Tank or Drain Field, that is not linked to a System point will not be included in any Insights tools.

For example, if a Query was executed to find all Systems where the Drain Field was installed prior to 1990, only those System points on the map that meet the Query Statement will be visualized. If a Drain Field is on the map, but is not linked to a System point on the map, that Drain Field will not be included in the Insights Report and subsequent map visualization.
