Insights

Overview

Insights provides deeper analytics than Profit and Loss, with a focus on business performance trends, lead pipeline health, and operational metrics.

Insights needs an active Apex Lucis Pro subscription. Without it, the Insights card still appears on the Business screen, and opening it shows the upgrade screen.
