View, analyze and monitor your spend by month, year to date (YTD) or any custom date range. Compare your desired datasets month over month (MoM) or year over year (YoY). Action items allow you to filter results further or export data all within an intuitive, easy-to-use interface. Each month can be narrowed down to show spend by region or country in just one click.
After logging in to your myInsight account, within the secondary navigation menu, select Dashboard.
To view the spend dashboard, ensure you have the spend by month checkbox selected in your dashboard settings. Access your settings by selecting the gear icon to open the settings menu.
This drag-and-drop widget can be placed anywhere on your dashboard. The dashboard will initially populate data from the current year. Data is updated daily.
Select last 12 months or custom action buttons to change the dates of the report. The compare with previous period checkbox will provide you with an additional bar graph of either MoM or YoY results depending on the date range selected.
Selecting the bar graph of a specific month will narrow down that month’s spend data into a breakdown by region. Hovering your mouse over a bar graph will display spend details in the selected currency. Use the currency drop-down menu to change your currency view.
To further view country data within specific regions, select the regional bar graph to narrow down country results within the region.
