Insights
Insights in RigFlow are a powerful tool designed to capture lessons learned and improvement opportunities directly from the rig floor or onshore offices. They can be found in several places within RigFlow and support safety, efficiency, and communication across teams by allowing anyone with access to contribute meaningful feedback in real-time.
Insights are written notes tied to a plan in RigFlow. They are visible to everyone with appropriate permissions, including offshore and onshore users, and are automatically synced with RigBridge for further analysis and action.
