Adding site collections

All site collections in a web application are added to the Data Insight configuration when you add the web application to Data Insight. You must add the site collections manually if you do not select the Automatically discover and add site collections in this web application option when adding a web application. You can either add multiple site collections at once using a CSV file or select individual site collections that you want to add to the Data Insight configuration.

Note:

Data Insight disables addition of site collections if you do not have a valid license or if your license has expired. Also, Data Insight will not discover site collections that have been added to configured web applications after the expiry of the license.
