# Get started with Insights Orbit

> What Insights Orbit shows, how to get in, and the first things to set up so your team sees how your websites do.

Insights Orbit shows how people use your organisation's websites and apps: how many came, where they came from, which pages they read and whether they did what you hoped, such as booking a trip or signing up for the newsletter. It counts without cookies, and every screen answers its question in a plain sentence before the chart.

## Get in

You open Insights Orbit from Orbit, with the same sign-in. Your organisation gives you access under **Members** in Orbit. If you don't see Insights Orbit there, ask an owner or admin of your organisation.

What you can do depends on your role: **Viewers** read every report, **Editors** also set up goals, funnels, dashboards and alerts, and **Admins** also add sites and change settings. See [Who can do what](https://docs.bifrostorbit.com/insights/everyone/roles/).

## Find your way

- **Sites** lists every website and app your organisation follows, with its visitors over the last 7 days and whether visits are arriving. It also shows this month's events against your plan.
- Choose a site to see its reports in the sidebar: **Overview**, **Pages**, **Sources**, **Places**, **Devices**, **Events**, **Goals**, **Funnels**, **Journeys** and **Retention**. **Install**, **Labels** and **Site settings** are below them, under **Site**.
- The menu at the top of the sidebar switches between sites and organisations.
- **Dashboards** and **Segments** are under **Workspace**, **Summary emails** and **Alerts** under **Notifications**, and **AI assistants** under **Developers**, for all your sites at once.
- **Get help**, the lifebuoy at the top, or the `?` key, opens help for the screen you are on.

## Your first hour

1. **Add your website:** An Admin adds it under **Sites**, or follows it from CMS Orbit in one step. See [Add your first site](https://docs.bifrostorbit.com/insights/everyone/add-a-site/).
2. **Put the script on it:** A developer adds one line to the website, or one component with the CMS Orbit SDK. **Install** turns green when the first visit arrives.
3. **Read the overview:** It answers how many people came, from where, to which pages, and what changed. See [Read the overview](https://docs.bifrostorbit.com/insights/everyone/overview/).
4. **Say what success is:** Add a goal for what matters most, such as reaching the booking confirmation page for the Lofoten ski touring week. See [Set up goals](https://docs.bifrostorbit.com/insights/everyone/goals/).
5. **Keep up without logging in:** Send your team a weekly [summary email](https://docs.bifrostorbit.com/insights/everyone/summary-emails/), and let [alerts](https://docs.bifrostorbit.com/insights/everyone/alerts/) tell you when visits fall or a form stops working.

## Before you go live

- Read [How visits are counted without cookies](https://docs.bifrostorbit.com/insights/everyone/how-visits-are-counted/) and mention Insights Orbit in your privacy notice. See [What to write in your privacy notice](https://docs.bifrostorbit.com/insights/everyone/privacy-notice/).
- A new organisation starts with a 14-day trial. Owners choose a plan under **Billing** in Orbit. See [Plans and monthly events](https://docs.bifrostorbit.com/insights/everyone/plans-and-limits/).
