Insights 2.0: How the new performance boost and features improve your scheduling data

What is Insights 2.0?

Insights 2.0 is a major upgrade to Cal.com’s data analysis and visualization capabilities. It enhances how you can access and interpret your scheduling and routing data. The update focuses on improving performance, making the platform faster and more intuitive for users. Whether you’re trying to understand booking patterns or optimize routing efficiency, Insights 2.0 helps you uncover valuable insights quickly and easily.

Before the update, the Insights dashboard already provided several useful features that allowed users to track and analyze their scheduling data. These included:

• Filtering on event types, team members, and sub-teams.

• An overview with the amount of bookings created, completed, rescheduled, and cancelled.

• Average ratings and CSAT score to gauge customer satisfaction.

• Tracking of no-shows for both hosts and guests.

• Charts displaying trends and data visualizations.

• Insights into the most and least booked event types.

• Insights into the most and least scheduled members.

• The ability to export all booking data in a CSV file.

• The option to use custom data ranges to filter on specific dates or longer time frames.

These features set the foundation for tracking scheduling performance, but with Insights 2.0, the platform’s capabilities have been enhanced even further.

Key features and improvements of Insights 2.0

Insights 2.0 introduces several new features and improvements, including:

• Performance boost: The biggest advantage is a significant speed improvement. Data fetching for scheduling insights is now up to 4.5x faster, while routing insights are 60x faster, depending on the filters applied. This means you can access the data you need more quickly and with less wait time.

• New filters: In addition to the filters that were already available, you can now filter your insights by Booking Status, Attendee Email, Paid, and Rating. These new options allow you to drill down deeper and get a more granular view of your scheduling data.

• Additional charts: Insights 2.0 introduces new charts like “Bookings by Hour”, “Routing Funnel”, and “Recent No-Show Guests.” These visual aids help you understand your scheduling trends at a glance, making it easier to make data-driven decisions.

• Redesigned interface: The user interface has been refreshed to provide a cleaner, easier-to-navigate dashboard. The unified design allows you to access and manage your insights without unnecessary complexity.

Who is Insights 2.0 for?

Insights 2.0 is designed with teams, organizations, and enterprises in mind, focusing on providing valuable data for decision-making at scale. It’s not available for individuals, but if you’re part of a larger team, you’ll benefit from the new features that help optimize schedules, track performance, and improve efficiency. Whether you’re handling hundreds of appointments per day or managing a complex routing system for a global enterprise, Insights 2.0 delivers the tools you need to stay ahead.

How to leverage Insights 2.0 for better scheduling

With the new performance improvements and features, Insights 2.0 enables you to gain deeper insights into your scheduling patterns and make better decisions. Here are some practical ways you can leverage this powerful update:

1. Optimize meeting times: Use the “Bookings by Hour” chart to identify the times of day when your meetings are most frequent. This helps you optimize scheduling by adjusting availability to accommodate peak hours.

2. Identify bottlenecks: The Routing Funnel chart can help you spot where in the process your bookings or routes are getting stuck. If a significant drop-off occurs at a particular stage, you can take action to improve that part of the workflow.

3. Track no-shows: The “Recent No-Show Guests” chart can give you insights into your no-show rate. If you notice a pattern, such as a high no-show rate for specific types of events, you can implement strategies to reduce this issue, such as sending reminders or adjusting your scheduling policies.

4. Refine customer segmentation: With new filters like Attendee Email, Booking Status, and Rating, you can segment your data based on specific criteria. For example, you could track attendees who frequently cancel or reschedule, helping you identify and address potential issues early.

5. Measure paid event performance: If you run paid events, use the Paid filter to track how well your paid events are performing in comparison to free ones. This can help you make more informed decisions about pricing and promotions.

Practical tips for using Insights 2.0 for better scheduling
