# How to set up Insights for orders

Insights based on sales and cost analysis data (commissions and/or shipping costs) uses order data to break down your listing performance.

In this article, we explain how to set up Insights for orders in your Channable account. After setting up Insights for orders, you’ll:

* Get a graphical overview of revenue compared to costs
* Be able to use Insights fields to create rules

***

### Before you start

**You’ll need:**

* A unique ID for each item to provide in **Setup** > **Project settings** (usually ‘id’)
* An active [order connection](/list-advertise/orders/order-connections/supported-marketplaces-for-order-connections.md) for the supported channel

### **Creating an Insights Dashboard**

1. In your Channable account, create or open a project and go to **Setup** >**Insights**.
2. Click **Setup Insights**.
3. Select an existing order connection and fill in the required fields: 1. For **Name**, give your dashboard a distinct name
4. For **Date range setting**, choose between a fixed range or rolling date range (continuous).
5. For **Date range**, choose the date range you want to pull data from (if fixed range) or the maximum number of days to pull data from (if rolling date range).

   **Note:** The preview version of Insights only supports a 90 day rolling date range.
6. Click **New Insights dashboard**.

You can also group data by category, brand and fields from your imported items.

**Reviewing at product level**

1. In **\[your Insights dashboard]**, go to **View all items.**
2. Select the product you want to examine.

A graph and data will appear providing more information about your product.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://helpcenter.channable.com/manage-improve-product-data/insights/insights-for-orders/how-to-set-up-insights-for-orders.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
