Unable to see the Source data page of Insight on Clipboard when Insight was clicked and loaded from explore data icon.
Any reason we can specify the behaviour.
@SivaramaSaimadhav72 can I ask why you are trying to track this down? There’s a whole bunch of background here, but maybe its easier to dive to the actual issue - is there data missing? Perhaps it would be easier to help there than focusing on the data page
Data pages and Insights.
Generally, are not sourced just from a datapage alone.
Clipboard usage in Constellation architecture
In Constellation’s stateless architecture the traditional server-side Clipboard doesn’t persist your session’s interim UI data between actions the way it did in traditional UI architectures.
You’ll need to shift from checking the server Clipboard to inspecting the client-side state or the API payloads:
-
Browser Network Tab (DevTools): Open your browser’s developer tools (F12) and check the Network tab. You can inspect the DX API response payloads directly to see exactly what data was returned for that Insight.
-
Redux DevTools: Since the Constellation UI is React-based, the application state is maintained client-side in a Redux store. Installing the Redux DevTools browser extension will allow you to see the live state of the UI and the data it has loaded.
-
Pega Tracer: If you specifically need to debug the backend execution of the Data Page (e.g., checking how a Report Definition or Data Transform ran), you can run the Tracer while you click the Insight. This will capture the temporary step pages during the execution of the stateless API call.
I’d like to move this to User Experience, to go with the other Constellation posts.
However, you are not a member, if you can join then that will allow me to move this (only members can reply to User Experience posts, so you would no longer be able to reply).
Let me know when you join and i’ll move this.
Nothing was going wrong in the data level,
I see everything working fine. I thought to understand Insights better and End-to-end functioning.
I learn that the insights run the source data page in other thread and that is the reason why it is not showing on clipboard.
I have gone through 26 documentation for Insights and could not find solide reason why that not D_page sourced not appearing on the Clip board and thought of asking.
Hi @MarcCheong
Good day,
If you could help me understand what are the whole bunch of background things happening, when we are clicking on explore data and and clicking Insights and loading.
That will be a great help to understand the complete workflow and may get answer why I am not getting source page is not showing on clipboard.
Many Thanks.
I would be using dev tools if you want to see the data and datapages coming across.

Insights architecture, I’ve shared what I know in Some insights into Insights (and Explore Data) but I don’t think you will find a specific unique datapage being called for each Insight.
