Once you make an Insightful account, you need to add employees so that Insightful can start collecting the data you'll be able to analyze later on. You can check out the video below with instructions for setting up new employee computers.

Steps to Add Employees & Computers to Insightful

  1. Go to Employees β†’ Add New Employee

  2. Choose between:

    • Company Computers

    • Personal Computers

πŸ‘‰ If you're not sure which one to choose, please see our full guide on differences between company and personal computers.

​Company Computers

You will want to use this option when installing Insightful on Windows computers owned by the company.

From here you can either:

  • Download Insightful
    This option is great if you would like to download Insightful to a USB drive, share it via an internal file sharing app or install via Terminal.

  • Copy & Paste your unique Installation URL
    This option is great if you would like to share the download file with another member of your team, for example an IT Administrator or even directly to your employees to install.

After Insightful is installed, the device/user will automatically appear in your dashboard.

​Personal Computers

It's important to use this option when you're using Insightful on Employee's personal devices.

​
To invite employees, Insightful will ask you for their:

  • Email Address

  • Full Name

  • Team

After you send the invitations to employees:

  1. They will be sent an invitation via email to join Insightful.

  2. They will be asked to register an account with Insightful.

  3. They will need to download and install Insightful on their device.

  4. They will need to log in to Insightful after installation.

After they have logged into Insightful, they will automatically appear on your dashboard.


​❗ Note: On MacOS, due to its privacy features, employees will see a popup window asking to allow Insightful some permissions. Users should click on Open system preferences and allow Insightful accessibility functions. The window after the installation looks like this:
