Introducing Omni Insights

Omni Insights introduced new reporting capabilities for Education Partners:

  • Create your own dashboards: In addition to using existing dashboards available through your permissions, you can turn a report into a dashboard and update it later.
  • Organize reports in folders: Your institution has its own folder system. Choose where to save reports and organize them for you and your colleagues.
  • Use optional AI assistance: Ask AI to clarify reporting terms and functions or start building a report using the dimensions and measures you provide. You can also build reports manually.
  • Manage multiple tabs in one workbook: Create multiple queries (reports) in a single workbook to move between topics and compare data.
  • Schedule reports and alerts: Schedule report delivery through email, Amazon S3, SFTP, or webhook. You can also schedule alerts to notify recipients when a query or dashboard meets a condition, such as a change in query results.

At launch, Looker Analytics remained available while institutions transferred their reports to Omni Insights. Looker Analytics was removed in August 2026.
