Contextual insight

The contextual insight is an in-product and context relevant message.

A contextual insight's main purpose is to assist users by offering information or suggestions based on their current and past interactions, preferences, and workflows. Insights are answers to questions a user might have when interacting with content, exploring an event, asset or process.

When to use

Use it to explain different signals, events or processes. The footer can allow for other custom actions like the recommended steps for the contextual view.

Example

When opening a flyout displaying a log message's details, a contextual insight gives an explanation of what that message means.

Every insight allows for initiation of a conversation, regeneration and feedback provision. An insight has two interaction states:

1. Collapsed

2. Expanded

3. Footer - the footer acts as the actionable segment, containing calls-to-action and offering options to regenerate, or delve further into the insight
