# Analytics Quick Start

> Get into BeatPass Backstage Insights and understand what you can access today.

This quick start walks through the current BeatPass Insights flow.

## Before You Begin

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="You need to be signed in">
    Insights are account-based. Anonymous visitors cannot open producer analytics pages.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="You need access to the content">
    BeatPass only shows insights for content you are allowed to manage or inspect — tracks, albums, or artist profiles you own or are credited on.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Some pages may be empty at first">
    New releases or low-activity releases can show very little data until listeners have interacted with them.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Open Your First Insights Page

1. Go to **Backstage** and find the track, album, or artist you want to inspect.
2. Open the **Insights** action for that item.
3. Confirm the page header matches what you opened: **Track Insights**, **Album Insights**, or **Artist Insights**.
4. The default date range is **This year**. Adjust it with the floating date-range selector if needed.

<Tip>
  Some items may also expose an **Intelligence** call-to-action when additional analytics features apply. This is conditional and depends on the content type.
</Tip>

## Learn The Layout

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Header" icon="compass">
    Shows the content title and high-level stats for the current track, album, or artist.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Date range selector" icon="clock">
    Lets you switch the reporting window for the current page.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Charts" icon="chart-bar">
    The chart set changes depending on whether you are viewing a track, album, or artist.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Empty states" icon="inbox">
    If there is not enough data yet, BeatPass shows a no-data message instead of forcing a chart.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Important Expectations

* Track Insights is the only page with the full engagement section (Engagement Overview, Listen Duration, Completion Breakdown).
* Album and artist insight pages focus on rolled-up listening and audience breakdowns.
* The standard UI does not currently show a built-in export button.
* Very recent activity can take time to appear, especially if the page is still serving cached results.
