Custom Analytics

Open the Analytics page. The Ask Kira chat panel is pinned to the right side.

Ask your question. Type it the way you'd ask a colleague — no special formatting needed. For example: "Kira, which schools have the lowest engagement this month?"

Watch the thinking steps. Kira shows what it's doing (reading schema, running the query) with checkmarks as each step completes.

Review your answer. Kira returns a text summary plus the most useful format for the data, like a chart or table.

Change the chart type if you want a different view. Ask something like "show that as a bar chart" or "give me a table instead."

Ask follow-up questions. Kira remembers the conversation, so you can say "break that down by teacher" or "compare that to last quarter" without repeating context.

Use the quick reply pills. Every response includes 2–3 suggested follow-ups below it.

Rate Kira's response. Every answer generated by Kira includes the option to give a thumbs up or thumbs down and leave feedback. Your input helps Kira continue to learn.

Ask for a report. For example: "Kira, give me a report on adoption, assessments, and engagement."

Answer Kira's follow-up if needed. If you don't specify topics, Kira will ask what to include.

Review the report preview. It renders inline with a header and one section per topic, each with a narrative summary, chart, and key metrics.

Request changes before exporting. Say things like "add a section on resource usage" or "remove the adoption section."

Export your report. Choose PDF (full rendered report) or CSV (raw data behind each section).

Create a dashboard first. Before you can save anything, you need a dashboard to save it to. Create one from the Dashboards tab, or ask Kira directly in chat — "Kira, create a dashboard I can save this chart to."

Name your dashboard when prompted.

Pin a chart. Once your dashboard exists, click the pin icon on any chart in a conversation, or say "add this to the dashboard."

Find your dashboards. Go to Dashboards, nested under Analytics in the sidebar.

Filter by time range. Choose 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or a custom range. This only affects charts with a time dimension — a pie chart of student vs. teacher counts, for example, won't change.

Choose a layout. Grid (2-column, drag to rearrange) or Stack (single column, fixed order).

Keep adding charts from the dashboard itself. Click the Ask Kira button (or the floating Kira icon) to open chat without leaving the page — anything you pin here goes straight into the open dashboard.

Rename, remove, or delete as needed. Click the title to rename inline; use the X on a chart card to remove it (this doesn't delete the underlying data); use the overflow menu to delete the whole dashboard.

Control who can see it. Dashboards are Private by default. Toggle Visible to organization to share it — anyone with analytics access at your level or below can then see and collaboratively edit it. Admins above you in the hierarchy can view but not edit it.

Check which filters Kira named in its response.

Ask Kira to broaden the time range or drop a filter.

Re-ask with fewer dimensions (e.g., remove "by teacher").

Try rephrasing with a specific metric, school, or time period.

Use one of Kira's suggested quick replies instead.

If Kira points you to a related metric, try asking about that instead.

Ask Kira to show the full list as a table.

Or download the underlying data as CSV to see every row.

Reload the dashboard, or change its time range, to re-run the query against the latest synced data.

In chat, ask a new question rather than referring back to an old one — old conversations show a snapshot from when they were originally asked.

Confirm your assigned scope with your top-level org admin.

If you believe your access should be broader, contact your Kira customer success manager.

Ask the original creator (or a peer at their level) to make changes.

You can still export the dashboard or use its charts as reference for your own.
