Hi @leslie22,

Apologies for the delayed response!

- The changes from SFDC would need to be synced to Gainsight and it can be scheduled on an hourly basis. You could also write back from Gainsight to SFDC with a similar cadence.

Since you're building and consuming the map in Gainsight, it might make sense to write back to Salesforce from Gainsight rather than the other way around. There's also ways in which you can do either, always taking the latest hierarchy information based on the last modified date.

- We're working on improving the UX and changing the layout to make better use of the real estate! We already have a full-screen mode (an icon on the top-right) and the experience should be better in the full-screen view.

- To search for a Person, you don't necessarily need to type the entire name, you can type a few characters and hit enter and it'll show all matches. However, I do agree that an auto-suggest would be ideal there and we'll be working on making that enhancement!

- We do have the ability to create multiple maps for the same account in the roadmap, as well as additional capabilities like adding Placeholder cards on the map. For your use case, do you think seeing a map with multiple hierarchies would be useful or maybe just a canvas of cards with multiple people cards on it?

- We can bring over data from external systems, like Contacts and/or their hierarchy (as long as those 3rd party systems allow export) but we don't currently have plans to show charts made in 3rd party systems.

Do note that will People Maps you'll get crucial data points like the Person's NPS Score and Last Engagement Date (with more to come!) so it might be more useful to get the data from 3rd party systems into Gainsight and view it in People Maps rather than viewing the 3rd party chart directly in Gainsight.

Feel free to reach out if you have further questions or want to get into specifics about any of this!

Thanks,

Kunal

Thanks Kunal.



A small suggestion - would it be possible to change the colour of the card frame (the box) or the background of the card? I am noticing this is monitor dependant but sometimes the map is difficult to see, especially if it is a busy one. The top card in blue frame is ok but anything below in grey frames with white background can be hard to see, especially as the overall page packground is white also. I'm not able to upload a screenshot here so sent it to you directly..



Thanks

Katerina

How do I find documentation on creating the "Influencer" maps that were demoed at Pulse? I have created a couple People maps using traditional Roles Hierarchy but would love to also exhibit roles accourding to influencer/catalyst status

The 'Org Chart View' is really hepful but it can get fairly large when we start building out the org hierarchies. It would be great if we could create various "views" of the orgchart that allow you to just look at a subset of the full chart. For our products we often build stakeholders maps relative to specific tools that are used by different members of an organization. For example, "Product 1 Org Chart" could be the stakeholder map relative to that specific group versus the entire organization view.

Hi John! The influencer functionality isn't ready quite yet for the beta, but I'm hoping we can get you an update on timing soon.

Hi Scott,

Agreed! We're actively working on providing the ability to build multiple named "views" for the same Company. This would still work off the Manager field but you can choose to create and directly go to the view that you're interested in, based on products, departments, geogrpahical locations etc.

Thanks,

Kunal

Hi Katerina,

We do recognize this issue and will enhance to address this issue soon, tentatively by our July release.

Thanks,

A few small suggestions -

(1) To view the contact detail pane you must select the contact card menu and then 'View Detail'. It would be nice to just click on the contact card to show the detail.

(2) The org chart default collapsed to only 2 levels. When you want to dig into the chart you have to expand all contacts. We have 10-12 levels sometimes that this can be time consuming to drill into. The comments previously made about multiple views may solve this if you can limit the view to only subtress of the overall hierarchy.

Thanks,

Scott

Is there any plans to allow NPS Scores not done from Survey 2.0 to be visible in People Maps - we store our Responses in the NPS Response object, so they are visible in the 360 NPS widget but do not seem to be picked up by the People Maps.

Hi Eric, have you tried using the migration tool to move your surveys and history to Survey 2.0?
