Specify Configuration Options

Use wInsight Analytics Configuration to specify the configuration options that determine important characteristics of the analytics, what data is loaded from the wInsight Analytics database, and how that data is transformed for the analytics.

To specify configuration options for the wInsight Analytics module, complete the following steps:

1. On the server or standalone computer on which you installed the wInsight Analytics module, go to the <installation location>\Admin folder.
2. Run wInsight_Analytics_Config.qvw to open wInsight Analytics Configuration.
3. Click Update from wInsight Database. The wInsight Analytics Configuration imports data from the wInsight Analytics database that you need in order to specify configuration settings (the list of units, for example). When this process is completed, you receive a message that confirms that the wInsight Analytics data has been imported successfully into wInsight Analytics Configuration.
4. Use wInsight Analytics Configuration to specify the configuration settings you want. Click periodically to save your work.
5. Click Save Settings for wInsight Analytics. When this process is completed, wInsight Analytics displays a message that confirms that the settings have been updated successfully.
6. If you have unsaved entries, click to save them in wInsight_Analytics_Config.qvw. Important: If you make any changes to the configuration settings, it is very important that you both click Save Settings for wInsight Analytics and click on the toolbar to save the current configuration settings before you run the data load process. If you do not do both, the data load may not use the most current configuration settings.

When you have saved the settings in wInsight Analytics Configuration, you are ready to run the process to load data into the analytics data model.
