What is Viva Insights?

Microsoft Viva Insights is a Microsoft tool that gives individuals, managers, and leadership personalised insights into performance.

How the University is using Viva Insights

You will receive a monthly email containing your MyAnalytics information. The information contained is secure, and internal to the University. The email will contain a summary of your collaboration time, focus and wellbeing to show you how your time has been used recently.

What it does not show

Viva Insights does not collect analytics for shared mailboxes. Emails sent by an assistant on your behalf are not included in your data.

MyAnalytics only includes data about email that you send from your mailbox. However, MyAnalytics does include your calendar events in your data, including the events created and accepted on your behalf by your assistant.
