Overview of the Skill Insights dashboard
The Skill insights dashboard enables you to understand your employees’ learning priorities, by drilling into categories and topic data to see where exactly their time is being spent.

The Skills insights dashboard includes:
- The percentage of time spent learning business, tech, and personal development skills.
- A total count of topics in business, technology, and personal development that your organization's learning spans.
- Data by all users or to dive into specific groups or sections.
- Learning data for specific time frames.

- An interactive chart that provides insights into the percentage of time spent learning and the total time spent learning by category, subcategory and topic. The side panel also shows the top courses for each category, subcategory and topic so that you can easily assign or recommend these to other learners in your organization.

Frequently asked questions about the Skills Insights dashboard
Who is the Skill Insights dashboard for?
The Skill insights dashboard is for all admins and group admins. Group admins will only be able to see skill insights for their groups.
How is time spent learning attributed to topic/category/sub-category?
The pie chart has four levels:
-
Business vs Technology vs Personal Development:
- Business includes all categories containing courses that are primarily focused on business.
- Technology includes all categories containing courses primarily focused on technology topics.
- Personal development includes all categories containing courses that are primarily focused on personal development topics.
- Subcategories: These are the subcategories shown in the Explore/Browse experience.
- Topics: Courses are tagged with topics. Some courses have one primary topic and all learning in the course is attributed to this primary topic. Other courses have more than one primary topic. In these cases, we attribute all learning in the course to each of the topics.
A course can exist within more than one subcategory and courses with the same primary topic can also exist in different subcategories. As a result, this means that learning attributed to a single topic can be split across multiple subcategories.
The top topics list includes all learning attributed to the topic regardless of which subcategory it belongs to.
Which learning categories make up each classification?
The categories include multiple topics, some of which are:
Technology:
- Cloud Computing

- Design
- Development
