Installing Insight on your web site

Deploy Insight in 3 Simple Steps

  1. Create a Group
  2. Configure HTML settings for Your Site
  3. Install Embed Code

1. Create a Group

Create a group to get a unique group profile and embed code.

(Actually, if you’ve never used Insight before, you need to create a free user profile first.)

How many groups should you make?
Each web site must make at least one group. If you would like to use different configurations for different parts of your site, you can make a different group (each of which gets a unique embed code) for each part of the site you want to customize.

2. Configure HTML Settings for Your Site

From your user profile, click over to your Group’s homepage, then open the Group Settings page.

Here, you can tell Insight which parts of a page (i.e., which HTML elements) to scan and insert highlights into. (No highlights will be inserted in HTML elements that aren’t inside a scanned area.)

Just use standard CSS selectors!

3. Install Embed Code

You will find the embed code on the Group Settings page.

Just add it to any and all pages where you want Insight to appear for your readers.

You can add it to the of your site, or at the bottom of the page before the closing tag. Just like Google Analytics.

Other Options

Insight lets you configure many features to better suit your site and community! For example:

  • Ratings - Add, change, or remove traits from the list of traits a user can use to react to content on your site. Assign a value of -5 to 5 to each rating, too, to quantify how users are reacting to your content.
