The Microsoft Active Directory user data sync feature will help synchronize the new users from your Active Directory into the Insightful app.
The Identification and Active Directory synchronization settings will take effect only if they were configured before an employee was created - they won't affect existing Insightful employees.
How to enable Active directory synchronization?
Please ensure that identification and Active Directory synchronization settings are configured before creating the employee. To enable syncing user info with Active Directory, please follow the following steps:
Click on Settings on the sidebar.
Select Tracking Settings.
Click on the Advanced Settings button.
Check Use Active Directory box to enable syncing between Insightful and AD users.
Note
When active, new users synced through AD will override your preferred identification settings and will be identified as domain/user.
What data can be used?
Email address - this option will allow Insightful to fetch and use email address from the email field in user object in Active directory.
Team - Active directory departments will be considered equivalent to Insightful teams. Employees added from Active directory will be placed in the Insightful team with the same name as their department in the Active directory. The user's department/team name will be taken from the department field in the user object in Active directory.
When active, new users synced through Active directory will override your preferred identification settings and will be identified as domain/user.
Tracking Settings - create specific tracking settings template for each Active directory department / Insightful team. Each employee added will have specific tracking settings template applied based on their Active directory department field in user object.
