Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Right now it is only able to do insights on events (which can be related to persons/groups). However it would also be useful to be able to do an insight on persons/groups directly, f.e. to get the total number of accounts (potentially filtered by properties).

Describe the solution you'd like

Trend Insights get a new category "entity" where Persons/Groups can be selected.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Within the Persons & Groups it is possible to create graphs for persons/groups.

Done means persons and groups can be selected for insights, including property filtering and account totals.
