```

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Description |

## Remarks

Note: if you are aiming to lookup insights using an ObjRef, then you should instead use the map returned by [selectInsightsMap](https://www.gooddata.ai/docs/gooddata-ui/latest/api-reference/sdk-ui-dashboard/sdk-ui-dashboard.selectinsightsmap/index.md). If you are aiming to lookup a single insight by its ref, use [selectInsightByRef()](https://www.gooddata.ai/docs/gooddata-ui/latest/api-reference/sdk-ui-dashboard/sdk-ui-dashboard.selectinsightbyref/index.md). Using these selectors is both faster and safer as they take ObjRef type into account and look up the insight depending on the type of the ref.

See [selectInsightsMap](https://www.gooddata.ai/docs/gooddata-ui/latest/api-reference/sdk-ui-dashboard/sdk-ui-dashboard.selectinsightsmap/index.md) or [selectInsightByRef()](https://www.gooddata.ai/docs/gooddata-ui/latest/api-reference/sdk-ui-dashboard/sdk-ui-dashboard.selectinsightbyref/index.md) for a faster and safer ways to get an insight by its ObjRef.
