Important

Selecting a program sends data for every closed program cycle and automatically sends data for future cycles. In Viva Insights, you’ll be able to map which program data to display on the Viva Insights dashboard.

Data validation and processing

After sending data from Viva Glint, the Insights app validates it and provides status messages about the import. If processing fails, try running the import again, and resending your survey data. If you’re still getting a failed status, file a support ticket.

Glint data deletions result in Insights data deletion

As your company’s data controller, Microsoft Viva Glint admins can submit a user data deletion request to comply with a General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) data subject request.

User data is deleted from the People section on the Viva Glint admin dashboard. Any data deleted from Glint is deleted from Insights, as well. Data deletion instructions here..

Remove a program after initial setup

After sending data to Viva Insights, you can continue to manage your integration. You can stop sharing future data with Viva Insights by removing the program. Return to your Viva Glint admin dashboard and follow the same instructions as you did in the initial setup. The Setup integration button now reads Manage integration.

  1. Select Manage Integration.

  2. Hover over the ellipses next to the program to reveal the actions available. Select Remove program.
