Glimpse BI Settings — cache TTL, query limits, and schema discovery controls.

Requirements

Glimpse BI targets WordPress 6.5+ and PHP 7.4+. It runs entirely on your host — no external services are contacted by the free plugin.

What activation does

On activation the plugin creates its embed-token and materialization-registry tables and records a schema version. Future updates migrate the schema automatically on load, so you never have to deactivate and reactivate.
