Viewing Life Events Insights
This topic discusses how the benefits administrators can use the Benefits Insights dashboards to view and analyze life events activity for their workforce using Insights visualizations.
The Life Events Insights dashboard is built on the PeopleSoft Insights platform, which relies on an underlying analytics engine and search engine. The life event data that is visible on the dashboard comes from the Benefits Search indexes.

Warning! PeopleSoft Insights dashboards may not render properly if you access them using unsupported platforms.
The Life Events Insights dashboard provides you with different visualizations to analyze the life event data for your workforce. When you select filters or chart items, Insights dynamically updates all visualizations using the sources from the index.
Each visualization enables you to inspect the chart, table or map to view the details of that visualization. Pause over a visualization to have the have additional page elements appear, view numbers, or click items to add filters to your visualizations.
Using the interactive visualizations that are available on the dashboard, you can see the details of the active life events of employees and the documents that are missing or pending approval for these events. The dashboard also provides details of life event enrollment changes that are blocked due to missing EOI proofs. You can choose the range of days to view the life events that are nearing expiry. This dashboard also shows the step-wise distribution of each event type.
