Integration of DBT Models: All data within Insights V3 now utilize DBT (Data Build Tool) models, offering more scalable and robust data handling capabilities.
Model rendering and performance optimization with Cube Cloud: All dbt models are mapped to cubes and views with defined pre-aggregations in Cube Cloud’s semantic layer, optimizing load times.
Overall System Performance Improvements: A series of system optimizations have been carried out, leading to noticeable improvements in the tool's performance and reliability.
UI Enhancements
Enhanced Responsiveness: We have improved the alignment of cards across various screen sizes for a seamless viewing experience.
Report Filters Redesign: Filters in the Reports section that were previously considered "extra" have now been integrated into the top filter box for easier access.

Some of the projects are still onboarding, so the data may not be correct.
The date range filter in the dashboard module may not always display the correct data when selecting custom date ranges.
You may encounter occasional inconsistencies in data synchronization between Insights V3 and external data sources, leading to discrepancies in reporting.
