To configure the date range for Opportunities and Tasks:

You'll be directed to a page featuring configuration samples & settings currently in use, as below:
- Select the Insight Full button on the top left-hand side. This provides the sample configuration to copy settings from.
- Select the Copy button, and paste into \Insight\App_Data\Config\OnPremise\InsightConfiguration.xml. If the file isn't present. create one with a binary text editor.
- Edit the following keys' default values to the desired ones.
<add key="Insight.Panels.ForPluginRecent.DaysAfter.Opportunity" value="90" />
<add key="Insight.Panels.ForPluginRecent.DaysAfter.Task" value="90" />
<add key="Insight.Panels.ForPluginUpcoming.DaysBefore.Opportunity" value="90" />

- Close & save the file, then reload the settings: go to Insight context view > Settings > Reload Settings.
To configure the global date range and page size for modules (except Opportunities and Tasks):
- Open \Insight\App_Data\Config\OnPremise\InsightConfiguration.xml in a binary text editor.
- For the following keys between the Advanced Settings tags, set the values to the ones desired:

To change the displayed title for a section under a module (for this example, we'll change Recent Events under the Organization module to Recent Client Engagements):
- From the config sample, copy everything between the <Panels> tags & paste into \Insight\App_Data\Config\OnPremise\InsightConfiguration.xml, under <DisplaySettings Module="Organization">.
- In InsightConfiguration.xml, find <Panel Id="RecentInteractions"> . On the line underneath it, change <label>Recent Events</> to <label>Recent Client Engagements</>.
- Add a closing tag </DisplaySettings> just after the pasted lines.
- Close & save the file, then reload the settings: go to Insight context view > Settings > Reload Settings.
Result: Under the Organization module, Recent Client Engagements is now displayed.
