# create_correlations_insight

> Create a new insight from the Correlations section. 

## Usage

The following shows how the step can be used in a recipe.

<Accordion title="Examples" icon="code" defaultOpen="true">
  <Tabs>
    <Tab title="Signature">
      General syntax for using the step in a recipe. Shows the inputs and outputs the step is expected to receive and will produce respectively. For futher details see sections below.

      ```stan theme={null}
      create_correlations_insight(, {
          "param": value,
          ...
      })
      ```
    </Tab>
  </Tabs>
</Accordion>

## Inputs & Outputs

The following are the inputs expected by the step and the outputs it produces. These are generally
columns (`ds.first_name`), datasets (`ds` or `ds[["first_name", "last_name"]]`) or models (referenced
by name e.g. `"churn-clf"`).

<Accordion title="Inputs" icon="right-to-bracket" />

<Accordion title="Outputs" icon="right-from-bracket" />

## Configuration

The following parameters can be used to configure the behaviour of the step by including them in
a json object as the last "input" to the step, i.e. `step(..., {"param": "value", ...}) -> (output)`.

<Accordion title="Parameters" defaultOpen="true" icon="sliders">
  <ParamField path="title" type="string" required>
    Title of the insight.
  </ParamField>

  <ParamField path="columnX" type="string">
    Name of the column that will be compared with other columns specified in the `correlatedColumns` parameter. Placed in the x axis.
  </ParamField>

  <ParamField path="columnY" type="string">
    Name of the column that will be compared with other columns specified in the `correlatedColumns` parameter Placed in the y axis.
  </ParamField>

  <ParamField path="correlatedColumns" type="array[string]" required>
    A list of columns the columnX or columnY will be compared with.
    The insight will contain one chart per correlated column. If columnX and columnY are provided correlatedColumns needs to contain only columnY.

    <Accordion title="Array items">
      <ParamField path="Item" type="string">
        Each item in array.
      </ParamField>
    </Accordion>
  </ParamField>

  <ParamField path="hiddenColumns" type="array[string]">
    Columns hidden from the Correlations section when the insight is replayed.
    When replayed, the Correlation section will compare the target variable with all variables in
    the dataset except these.

    <Accordion title="Array items">
      <ParamField path="Item" type="string">
        Each item in array.
      </ParamField>

  <ParamField path="insightThemeMode" type="string">
    Theme mode applied to the whole insight.

    Values must be one of the following:

    * `dark`
    * `light`
  </ParamField>

  <ParamField path="isExpanded" type="boolean">
    Sets the correlation graph as expanded.
    If true, the insight will contain an expanded chart in order to show the maximum number of categories possible.
  </ParamField>

  <ParamField path="replayDisabled" type="[string, boolean]" default="false">
    Indicates if the insight can replay its original state or not.

    Values must be one of the following:

    * `drillDown`
    * `directSelectionInGraph`
    * `nonPersistedColumn`
    * `True`

  </ParamField>

  <ParamField path="representation" type="string" required>
    Sets the visualization type.
    Whether a heatmap or a bubble like chart.

    Values must be one of the following:

    * `heatmap`
    * `bubble`
  </ParamField>

  <ParamField path="isBoxplot" type="boolean">
    Sets Boxplot as visualization type.
    If true, a combination of quantitative & categorical columns will use Boxplot as visualization type.
  </ParamField>

  <ParamField path="elements" type="array[object]">
    Type and appearance of an insight's elements.
    A list in which each item is an object configuring the appearance of a particular insight element.
