Join us Jan 21st to Learn about KPIs in Education/TrainingBlog

We’re hosting another Gainsight CE Office Hours session this month, and we’d love for you to join us! This time, we’re diving into KPIs that Matter Have you ever wondered if the metrics you’re tracking really align with your business goals? Vanity metrics are important to have to aim for meaningful benchmarks, but you may be at the stage where you want to discover and showcase the actual impact of your Academy. Let’s figure it out together!  Here’s what we’ll cover:  - Aligning Goals with KPIs: Learn how to connect your Academy’s goals to your company’s larger business objectives using Gainsight’s Customer Success framework.  - Tracking the Right Metrics: Go beyond completion rates: let’s talk scale, retention, adoption, and expansion.  - Real-World Examples: See how other teams (like Customer Success and Support) use education KPIs to drive results. We’ll even have a successful Gainsight CE customer join us for this. Why Should You Join? - Gain actionable strategies to define and meas

Instruction Led Trainings Attendance update - How to trigger automatically

Been trying to find some information on this in the help center with no luck (this is the article I’m reading: https://support.gainsight.com/ce/Integrations_and_Add-ons/Learning_Tools/Instructor-Led_Training)  When we have attendees for our instructor led training, I can see how we can manually update if a registrant attended or did not attend, but how do we automate this? Is there an option I missed to have this log who joined the event? Doesn’t seem to be documented, but the specification that this is the manual approach implies there’s some automated way to do it too.

How Do You Streamline Content Updates in CE?

A common challenge we hear from Gainsight CE admins is the time it takes to update course content when a product or process changes. Updating existing courses is necessary to ensure accuracy, but it can also take time away from value-driven strategies, like planning your quarterly education goals, diving into analytics, or finding new ways to maximize your Academy's impact. 🧠 Pro Tip: In Gainsight CE, replacing individual content in courses is straightforward using the Replace button for specific content types in the Media Library. While the above this simplifies part of the process in Gainsight CE, we know that organizing, reviewing, and re-uploading content can still feel like a heavy lift, especially if you’re juggling multiple projects.That’s where we’d love to hear from you!What external tools do you use to store and organize content, or make re-updating easier and more streamlined? Do you rely on internal workflows or processes that help your team manage/prioritize updates? How

What's the "End-of-Course Screen" and Why Use it?Tutorial

Have you explored how the End-of-Course Screen can help guide your learners throughout their learning experience?  🧠 Tip: This feature is only available for individual courses, not courses within learning paths. You can edit these setting in the specific course settings via the course builder in the End of course screen section (see below) The default end-of-course screen offers basic functionality: a simple congratulations message with options to return to the dashboard or revisit the completed course.By creating a custom end-of-course screen, you can:  Add tailored descriptions, explaining what learners have achieved and what they can do next.   Use call-to-action (CTA) buttons to direct learners to another course, your website, or other resources.  Reinforce the learning journey with clear, actionable next steps. For example, direct learners to notify their manager or CS representative after completing a course.

What specifically does the Zoom integration for CE do?

We’re looking to implement the Zoom integration, but I’m having trouble finding exactly what it does. This help article explains how to set it up, but doesn’t explain the features: https://support.gainsight.com/ce/Integrations_and_Add-ons/Integrations/Zoom  What specifically does the Zoom integration change for ILTs? Does the Zoom integration from CE automatically create a Zoom event or do these have to be done separately and added to each event?

We previously spoke about how marketing goals can be reached via online education. Today, as part of our Use Cases Uncovered series, we’re exploring how Gainsight CE supports Onboarding.   Gainsight CE customers focused on onboarding often measure success with KPIs like… 📊Shortening Time to Onboard: By digitizing training content effectively, customers often see onboarding timelines shrink. Reducing Live Training Requirements: A robust digital resource allows customers to rely less on live 1:1 or 1:many training, freeing up internal teams to scale their efforts. Scaling Onboarding Efforts: With more efficient processes, companies can take on more customers without compromising quality. Driving Product Adoption: Digital onboarding provides ongoing, self-paced resources that users can revisit anytime.Is this working for you? 💬How has Gainsight CE helped your onboarding program

Issue with re-publishing - progress sets to zero

Hello! An issue I’ve been having is we have a lot of courses that need frequent updates, though when I re-publish a course with new docs or videos, it sets everyone’s progress back down to zero even if they’ve already completed parts of the course that did not change. Is there a solution for this that I’m missing?

Instructor Led Training Notifications "After" setting

When setting Instructor Led Trainings Notifications to send “After” the session, do we know for certain if it sends it after the session’s end time, or after the sessions’ start time? The notifications are not very well documented I can’t seem to find the answer on this.

How to manually activate a user in CE

We do quite a few Instructor Led trainings each day, and occasionally a user will be shared the Zoom link for the session, without having registered an account within our CE instance. We want to make sure they’re logged as having “Attended” but we can’t add a user to the event, without a CE account that’s also activated. Usually activating for us happens through SSO. Does anyone else have a similar set up and any recommendations on how to capture these attendees?

Gainsight CE FAQ Series: Why Can’t I Add Certain Webpages as Activities?

👇 Customers frequently as why they cannot add a certain webpage as an webpage activity 👇Many websites, including popular ones like google.com or apple.com, don’t allow embedding in external applications due to their own security policies.  If you’re attempting to embed a webpage that belongs to your organization, here’s what to do: For any organization-owned websites, you’ll need to contact someone from your website admin, IT, or Security team. They can adjust the site’s settings to allow embedding, granting permission for the page to display within Gainsight CE.For publicly accessible but non-owned websites,(like google.com or apple.com), embedding may not be possible due to their own security restrictions.

Using SCORM in CE and Milestones

I have seen some info on milestones in the community, but I do like how the Gainsight University has their courses setup: the learner cannot end/complete the course until they have clicked through all sections of the SCORM course. I wanted to know if anyone has the steps on how to mimic this in CE?I don’t have a quiz in all of my courses and when adding a milestone for SCORM, it says the learner must complete the SCORM activity with a minimum score %. Any help would be appreciated, even from the GS Uni team on how they accomplished this would be great.
