Contributor Insights
Browse contributors and open individual activity, work-log, and performance views.
Overview
Contributor Insights gives you a per-person view of engineering activity across your workspace. From the main list you can filter by team, search by name or email, and open any contributor's individual profile to explore their activity, work log, and performance metrics.
Contributor list
The contributor list displays all members synced to your workspace. Each row shows:
- Contributor — The member's name and email address.
- Team — The team the contributor is assigned to. Contributors not assigned to a team show a dash.
Use the Teams dropdown at the top to filter the list by a specific team, or use the Search by name or email field to find a contributor directly.
The list is paginated. Use the page controls at the bottom to navigate, and adjust Items per page to show more results at once.
Individual contributor profile
Click any contributor to open their profile. The profile has three tabs: Activity, Work-Log, and Performance.
Use the Last 3 Months dropdown at the top to adjust the time range across all tabs.
Activity
The Activity tab gives a high-level summary of the contributor's recent work.

Performance
The Performance tab benchmarks the contributor's metrics against a selected team.
Selecting a benchmark team
Use the Benchmark against dropdown to choose a team. Available options include any team in your workspace (e.g. Backedn, Builders, DevOps) as well as Unassigned. Once a team is selected, the metrics table populates with comparison data.
