Duplicate Insight Checks

To prevent the same insight from generating repeatedly, the insight is generated only once per scheduled frequency for each user.

Following are the applicable frequencies for this insight:

Frequency Description
WEEKLY The insight will be triggered once every Monday. Duplicate check will evaluate if the insight instance that matches the duplicate check criteria exists for the current calendar week (Monday to Sunday).
For example:
  • Normal scenario: If the calendar week starts from 1st January to 7th January, the insight is triggered on 1st January.
  • Dynamic trigger scenario: If the calendar week starts from 1st January to 7th January, and the user triggers an insight on 3rd January using dynamic trigger, duplicate check happens from 1st January to 3rd January.
MONTHLY The insight will be triggered once on the first day of the calendar month. Duplicate check will evaluate if the insight instance that matches the duplicate check criteria exists for the current calendar month (1st of the calendar month to the last day of the month).
For example:
  • Normal scenario: If the calendar month starts from 1st January to 31st January, the insight is triggered on 1st January.
  • Dynamic trigger scenario: If the calendar month starts from 1st January to 31st January, and the user triggers an insight on 3rd January using dynamic trigger, duplicate check happens from 1st January to 3rd January.
