# Create a Trend Insight in Mirror

Whatfix enables you to create Trend Insights for analyzing learner engagement and measuring learning outcomes in training simulations. You can combine [Mirror events](/mirror/docs/mirror-events-in-trend-insights), [User filters, and User breakdowns](/product-analytics/docs/user-filters-in-insights) to create custom reports that help you understand how your learners interact with training simulations.

For example, you can create a Trend Insight to analyze the number of learners who completed a training simulation in different countries or regions, and break down the data by User ID.

For more information, see [Mirror Events in Trend Insights](/mirror/docs/mirror-events-in-trend-insights), [Visualize an Assessment using Trend Insights](/mirror/docs/visualize-an-assessment-using-trend-insights) and [Visualize a Roleplay using Trend Insights](/mirror/docs/visualize-a-roleplay-using-trend-insights).

Use the following steps to create a Trend Insight in Mirror:

1. On the [Whatfix Analytics Dashboard](/product-analytics/docs/how-can-i-access-the-product-analytics-dashboard), click **Insights**.

Trend Insights turns your engagement-related queries, such as the number of users who have completed Flows or the number of users who have clicked the button on your Pop-up, into actionable insights.

Dashboards are a Product Analytics reporting feature that enables you to visualize your insights. They provide information at a glance to help you make data-driven decisions.

Shows overall behavior and engagement for both identified and anonymous (unidentified) users.

Users that Whatfix can detect and identify using a unique User ID.

Users that Whatfix cannot identify. These users are denoted by the Anonymized Whatfix IDs rather than an actual User ID.

The total number of times the event occurred.

The number of unique users who triggered the event.
