Webex App | Personal insights

Personal insights show you your personal data so you can reflect on building better connections, how you are spending your time in meetings, consideration for your colleagues when you're scheduling meetings within quiet hours, and see how your work-life balance can be improved. Your data and insights are never shared with anyone else, even your company or manager. The data used to provide insights that benchmark your behavior against that of your peers is always aggregated and anonymized. To learn more about data privacy, see the Cisco Online Privacy Statement.

Personal insights settings

Change your settings to hide personal insights information, benchmark your insights and metrics against your peers, set your quiet hours and time zone, and configure the minimum length of your focus time.

1	Go to Personal Insights, and click Settings.
2	Configure the following settings: Personal Insights—Turns the personal insights feature ON or OFF. When you opt out of personal insights, you won't see any personal insights data, and that data won't be calculated. Depending on your administrator's settings, you are asked to opt in or out when you launch personal insights for the first time. It can take up to seven to ten days for your insights to be generated. Goal notifications—Turns notifications ON or OFF. You'll see a badge notification when you meet the goals you set for last week. Peer benchmarking—Turns the peer benchmarking feature ON or OFF. When this feature is turned off, you won't see data on how you compare to your peers in some sections of the personal insights feature. Quiet hours—Set the hours when you are not working, so that the personal insights feature can calculate your schedule more accurately. Time Zone—Select your time zone from the drop-down list. Focus time—Focus time is the minimum amount of time that the personal insights feature counts as undisturbed, focused work that is being completed. Your time is counted as focus time when your time shows as available, and your calendar appointments don't have any invitees. You can schedule focus time by creating appointments in your calendar with no other invitees for the minimum amount of time you have configured.
3	Click Save.
