In this guide, we'll go over all of Insightful settings so that you can configure Insightful for your organization.
❗ Note: For additional flexibility, see how Insightful supports multiple settings profiles within an account.
Settings profiles
You'll find your shared settings profiles under Settings >> Tracking settings.
Here you can add a new setting profile, or edit an existing one by clicking on the 3 dots menu at the far right and selecting Edit.
Let's go through the settings you can configure:
Visibility Settings ⚙️
Set up whether you want Insightful to be visible to your employees or not. When Insightful is visible (recommended), your employees can also access their own data if you choose, which is a powerful productivity tool for them to be able to analyze their own data. You can learn more about visibility in Insightful here.
❗ Note: If your business is using Projects & Tasks, then Insightful must be visible for them to be able to interact with the platform.

Here you can control:
If you want Insightful to take screenshots
How often you want those screenshots taken
