Summary

The Directus Insights Module now offers enhanced capabilities for creating custom dashboards and reports with the addition of four new types of data visualization panes: bar charts, meters, line charts, and pie/donut charts. These new features, available to both Directus Cloud and Enterprise Self-Hosted Projects, enable users to utilize a drag-and-drop interface to gain deeper insights from one or multiple data sources. Bar charts are designed for comparing data points, meters for visualizing a single data point against a target, line charts for displaying trends over time, and pie/donut charts for illustrating the composition of a whole. The update aims to enhance user experience by providing more engaging and versatile ways to visualize data, with comprehensive documentation and community support available for users seeking assistance.
