Insights Reports

How to locate, interpret, and act on each Insights report available in Minga.

Minga has always provided robust reporting features: hall passes issued, tardies logged, behaviors recorded etc. Insights goes a step further by turning that raw activity into data-informed reports, surfacing who needs attention, where patterns are forming, and whether your current setup is working.

This guide introduces the three Insights reports and gets you to the right one for what you're trying to answer.

Permission level: Owner | Manager

⚠️ Note: This feature is currently in closed beta and available to Plus and Premium plans only. Each report also requires the related solution (Hallway Management, Tardy Management, or Behavior (Positive and Negative)) to be actively configured and generating data.

In this guide

Step 1: Understanding Insights

An Insights report is different from a standard report. A standard report shows you what happened. An Insights report analyzes that same data and surfaces the story in it, who's involved, whether a pattern is trending up or trending down, and where to focus next.

All Insights reports live in one place: the Insights area of Minga's main navigation. From there, you select which report you want:

  • No Party Group Insights

  • Behavior Insights

  • Tardy Insights

✅ Outcome: You know that Insights is a single area in Minga's navigation, and each report is a selection within it.

Step 2: Open No Party Group Insights

No Party Group Insights contains two report views: Potential meetup suggestions and No Party Group results.

Navigate to Insights in the main sidebar, then select No Party Group Insights.

  1. Choose Potential meetup suggestions or No Party Group results.

Potential Meetups

Potential meetup suggestions identifies students who frequently have overlapping hall passes, a pattern that can indicate a possible meetup. The report surfaces student pairs who have overlapped 5 or more times, with each overlap lasting 3 to 10 minutes.

Step-by-step guide to viewing Potential Meetups reports

  1. Select a student pair from the Potential Meetups list.

  2. Review the When do they overlap? heatmap to see on which days and times the pair's overlaps occurred.

  3. Review the Recent Overlap Events report to see the following:
    • Overlap Start: The date and time the overlap occurred.
    • Student A: The name of the first student in the group.
    • Pass Type A: Which hall pass type Student A used.
    • Student B: The name of the second student in the group.
    • Pass Type B: The hall pass type Student B used.
    • Overlap (min): How many minutes the hall passes overlapped.
    • Request Gap (min): The tome between the hall pass being requested and it being assigned.

This view answers:

  • Which students consistently leave class at the same time, and who are they?

  • What passes did they request?

  • What period or time of day did the overlap happen?

  • How long did the overlap last?

  • Do the same students always overlap during the same period of the day?

No Party Group Results

No Party Group results shows how often your existing No Party Groups are triggered, including how many meetups were denied and how many were allowed through an override.

Step-by-step guide to viewing No Party Group Results reports

  1. From the No Party Group Insights report, select No Party Group Results.

  2. Select from the following filters:
    • Student Name
    • Date
    • Group Name

  3. View the following metrics:
    • Meetups Denied: How many student meet ups were denied in the selected time frame.
    • Meetups Allowed: How many student meet ups were permitted during the selected time frame.
    • No Party Group Attempts Over Time: How many attempts were made, but blocked, by No Party Group members.
    • Top Denied Students: Displays which students, how many attempts, and how many No Party Groups were affected during the select time frame.
    • Recent No Party Group Attempts: Shows the Status, Date, Student Name, Pass Type, Group Name, and Attempts that were tried during the selected time frame.
    • Are mu groups working?: This log shows the Group Name, how many passes were Denied, how many Days Since Last Denial, the number of No Party Group Members, how many attempts were Overridden, the Date Created, and Pass Types used.

  4. Click on the ellipsis (three dots) in the corner of any report to download the results in a .csv, .xlsx, or .json file.

This view answers:

  • How effective are your current No Party Groups?

  • Which existing groups haven't been triggered in a while and could be re-evaluated?

  • How many overrides were given?

  • Which students received an override?

  • Who approved each override?

✅ Outcome: You can identify emerging hallway patterns that may need a new No Party Group, and confirm whether your existing groups are actually working.

Step 3: Open Tardy Insights

*student names have been removed from image

The Tardy Insights Report helps you monitor tardy records, manage tardies, and identify patterns causing classroom disruption. Like the Behavior Insights Report, it becomes more detailed as you move down the page — starting with school-level metrics, moving into student-level data, and ending with an event log. This lets you spot a trend first, then drill into the specific students or events behind it.

Step-by-step guide to viewing Tardy Insights

  1. Navigate to Insights in the main sidebar, then select Tardy Insights.

  2. Review the school-level metrics at the top of the report.

  3. View the following metrics:
    • Tardies: The total number of Tardies assigned in the selected time period
    • Tardy Distribution: A chart detailing the total number of Tardies compared to the number of students.
    • Tardy Heatmap: See which days and times are 'hotspots' for Tardies.
    • Tardies Over Time: The number of Tardies assigned over the selected time frame.
    • Student Tardy Summary: A summary per student of total Tardies assigned, Tardies per Week, Days Since Tardy, and Trend (Improving/Steady etc).
    • Tardy Log: A log of each Tardy assignment in the time period selected. This shows the Date and time of the assignment, Tardy Name, Assigned To, Assigned By, and any Note added at the time of assignment.

  4. Scroll down to review student-level data.

  5. Click on the ellipsis (three dots) in the corner of any report to download the results in a .csv, .xlsx, or .json file.

This report answers:

  • How many tardies occurred in the past X days?

  • Is the school getting more or fewer tardies over time?

  • Which periods are most disrupted by tardies?

  • Which students are trending up or trending down in tardies?

  • Which students may need attention or intervention?

⚠️ Note: The Tardy Insights Report only includes records where the behavior has been assigned a Behavior Type of Tardy. A tardy record that has not been assigned this Behavior Type will not appear in the report.

✅ Outcome: You can see whether tardiness is trending up or down campus-wide and identify which specific students need intervention.

Step 4: Open Behavior Insights

*student names have been removed from this image

The Behavior Insights Report helps you identify behavior trends, recognize positive progress, support MTSS interventions, and keep recognition equitable across campus. Like the Tardy Insights Report, it becomes more detailed as you move down the page, starting with school-level metrics, moving into student-level data, and ending with an event log.

Step-by-step guide to viewing Behavior Insights

  1. Navigate to Insights in the main sidebar, then select Behavior Insights.

  2. Filter your report by; Date Category (last 28 days, 91 days, School year),Grade, Behavior Category, Behavior Name, Praise Received, Guidance Received, Name Limit, Student Name.

  3. View the following metrics:
    • Behavior Totals: How many Praise and Guidance Behaviors have been assigned.
    • Praise: Guidance Ratio: How many Praises to Guidances have been issued.
    • Behavior Name: A chart broken out by Praise and Guidance showing how many of each Behavior have been assigned in the selected time frame.
    • Students Received Praise: The number of students who have received a Praise Behavior.
    • Students Received Guidance: The number of students who have received a Guidance Behavior.
    • Behaviors Over Time: A chart detailing Praise and Guidance Behaviors issued over the selected time frame.
    • Student Behavior Summary: A summary per student of total Behaviors assigned, broken out by Praise and Guidance, showing the Trends for both Behavior types.
    • Behavior Log: A log of all behaviors assigned in the selected time frame detailing the Date and Time the behavior was assigned, the Behavior name, who the behavior was Assigned to, who the behavior was Assigned by, and any Note given at the time of assignment,

  4. Scroll down to review student-level data.

  5. Click on the ellipsis (three dots) in the corner of any report to download the results in a .csv, .xlsx, or .json file.

This report answers:

  • How many praises and guidances were given out?

  • Is the school meeting its praise-to-guidance target ratio?

  • What are the most common guidance and praise types across campus?

  • Which students may need attention — for example, students not receiving enough praise, or students receiving too many guidances?

  • Which students are showing consistent positive behavior or improvement?

  • Which students are slipping or showing repeated behavior incidents?

💎 Tip: Review praise and guidance together as a ratio, not as two separate conversations. The praise-to-guidance ratio is a single, immediately understandable number. This is useful in a staff meeting, a board report, or a district review.

✅ Outcome: You can identify recognition gaps, confirm behavior policy is being applied consistently, and spot students who need earlier support.

Step 5: Using Insights

Every Insights report shares the same underlying behavior, regardless of which one you're viewing.

Reports are interactive. You can drill into a specific cohort or area of interest directly within the report rather than only viewing a fixed summary.

Reports can be exported. You can export the full report as a PDF, and any filters you've applied are preserved in the export. You can also export the dataset behind a specific chart as a .csv, .xlsx, or .json file. For graphs and charts, you also have the option of a .png file.

  1. Apply any filters you want reflected in your export.

  2. Click the download icon in the top right corner to export the full report as a PDF.

  3. Click on the three dots in the right corner on an individual chart to export just that dataset.

Reports cover a fixed annual range. Insights data spans July 1 to June 30 and resets each year. Data prior to the current annual range will not appear in the report.

Reports sync nightly. Insights data updates once per night, so same-day activity will not appear until the following day's sync.

Trend indicators compare recent activity to the rest of your selected period. In Behavior Insights and Tardy Insights, the trend shown compares the last 14 days to the remaining days in the period you've selected. For example, if you select Last 91 Days, the trend compares the most recent 14 days against the previous 77 days.

✅ Outcome: You know how to drill into any Insights report, export what you find, and correctly interpret the date range and trend indicators shown.

Step 6: Build an Insights review routine

Insights reports are most valuable when checked on a consistent schedule, not just after something goes wrong.

  1. Set a recurring time, weekly is a good starting point, to review all Insights reports.

  2. Note any student or pattern that appears consistently across two or more review periods.

  3. Decide on one action per flagged pattern: add a No Party Group, reach out to a student trending toward chronic tardiness, or address a recognition gap with staff.

✅ Outcome: You have a repeatable routine for using Insights to act early, rather than reviewing data only after an incident.

Access & Permissions

Owners and Managers have access to Insights by default, but it may be helpful to grant selected teachers and staff access to specific reports.

Step-by-step guide to adding Insight Report Viewers

  1. Select Insights from the main menu.

  2. Click on the Settings tab.

  3. Select the Add button next to the Insights report you would like to grant viewing access to.

  4. Search for the Teacher or Staff member by name, email address, or ID number.

  5. Select the box next to the users name and click Add at the bottom of the screen.

💎 Tip: This allows you to customize who sees what data so it is only visible to the right users.

Troubleshooting

A student's tardy record isn't appearing in the Tardy Insights Report.
If a tardy record is missing from the Tardy Insights Report, confirm the behavior has been assigned a Behavior Type of Tardy. Records without this Behavior Type will not appear in the report, even if the student was marked tardy.

An Insights report isn't showing any data.
If an Insights report shows no data, confirm three things: your school is on the Plus or Premium plan, the related solution has been actively used, and the activity falls within the current July 1 to June 30 reporting range. Insights data also syncs nightly, so activity from earlier today will not appear until tomorrow.

A student appears as a concern in more than one Insights report.
If a student appears in more than one Insights report, for example, both Tardy Insights and Behavior Insights, treat that as a stronger signal, not three separate problems. Review the student's full picture across solutions before deciding on one course of action.

FAQs

Where do I find Insights reports in Minga?

You'll find all Insights reports in the Insights area of Minga's main navigation. Once there, select No Party Group Insights, Tardy Insights, or Behavior Insights to open the specific report you need.

What's the difference between Insights and a regular report?

A regular report shows you raw activity — how many hall passes were issued, how many tardies were logged. An Insights report analyzes that same data and surfaces the story behind it, such as who's likely to meet up in the hallway or which students are trending toward chronic tardiness.

How far back does Insights data go?

Insights reports cover data from July 1 to June 30 of the current school year. Data resets at the start of each new annual period and does not carry forward from previous years.

How often does Insights data update?

Insights data syncs nightly. Activity from earlier the same day will not appear in a report until the following day's sync.

Can I export Insights data?

Yes. You can export a full report as a PDF, with any filters you've applied preserved in the export. You can also export the dataset behind a specific chart as a CSV file.

How is the trend indicator calculated?

In the Tardy Insights Report and Behavior Insights Report, the trend compares your most recent 14 days of activity to the remaining days in your selected period. For example, selecting Last 91 Days compares the most recent 14 days to the previous 77 days.

Do I need a specific plan to access Insights reports?

Yes, Insights reports (No Party Group Insights, Tardy Insights, and Behavior Insight), are available on the Plus and Premium plans only.

Can teachers see Insights reports?

Insights reports are available to Owner and Manager roles by default. Owners and Managers can share a specific report with specific teachers or staff at their discretion. Teachers do not have automatic access.

Is Behavior Insights only for negative behavior?

No. The Behavior Insights Report combines both praise (Positive Behavior) and guidance (Negative Behavior) data into one report, designed to be read as a single picture rather than two separate conversations.
