[EPIC] Insight improvements

[EDsCODE]

A list of low hanging fruit (+ a few bigger tasks) that would make the insight experience more complete. I've associated some of the bugs. Feel free to add more

General:

• saved funnels should have consistent analogies across the other insights
• generally it’s not immediately clear you can click to see people
• should be able to cohortize users really easily anytime you see a group of people (ex: clicking on a datapoint)
• Upload static cohort csv #2932 manual cohort building where you can create a cohort from a group of emails you list Static cohorts + upload by CSV #2868
• When you go from dashboard to an insight, and you then select a different insight (going from trends to retention for example) it still shows 'update dashboard' from that previous insight. We might need to have the concept of 'creating a new chart' like amplitude has.

Trends

• add graph legend
• Change datepicker to rangepicker #2922 better date handling when date dropdown is selected. Should show calendar immediately
• Remove shownas filter and move stickiness/lifecycle into separate insight tabs #2899 putting stickiness and lifecycle in a shown_as category is unintuitive. they are separate analysis classes that are hidden too close to simple trends breakdowns (issue Lifecycle tooltip needs updating #2782)
• Separate math aggregates #2885 recategorize the per event filtering (total volume dau percentiles)
• Proper interval rounding on normal trends #2901 interval rounding (issue Interval rounding on trends is abnormal #2675)
• insights query returning no data (issue Insights query returned no data after using custom date ranges and changing time buckets #2661)
• "Unique" property aggregator (Unique property aggregator filter #3077)

Sessions:

• should have breakdown
• Round sessions value #2925 y axis is not immediately understandable (defaults to seconds)
• Remove unnecessary action properties iterating on sessionsparams #2926 clicking on data point crashes
• Fix sessions length distribution dataindex #2883 distribution is returning blank

Retention:

• current date is not immediately clear on how it will change the graph
• Fix missing action when returning from dashboard #2884 retention dashboard item not saving second item if it’s action (issue Retention queries are not saved correctly to dashboard #2817)

Paths:

• Fix path loading var name #2882 doesn’t show loading spinner just shows no events prompt when loading
• show initial dropoff
• restore path custom events #2923 - list of custom events is not loaded (issue Paths Insights for Custom Events Don't Have Start Points #2836)

Referencing here the retention epic #2228 and the funnels epic #2697

[paolodamico]

Something from the retention missing but I think it's worth mentioning particularly is #2794, as it seems to be affecting all sorts of graphs. FYI @EDsCODE & @timgl

[paolodamico]

Think #3047 is worth considering too.

[paolodamico]

Adding another one #3087.

[paolodamico]

#2866 will also help here, particularly relevant for users doing web analytics

[paolodamico]

Following #3089 I think we definitely need to improve the accessibility of paths (i.e. colors need to be contrasting). The blue on blue thing is hard to read on the best of circumstances.

[jamesefhawkins]

#935 is relevant and has a few upvotes for legends on graphs

[paolodamico]

Tagging #3356 as relevant to include

[paolodamico]

@EDsCODE I think it might be worth moving the relevant issues to our project board and closing this, wdyt?

[EDsCODE]

Yeah, I think we can actually just close this and redraw the tasks. Also, it'll make more sense to split these by each insight because there's a lot to be added per insight
