Good Morning-













Our new SVP of Client Success has some reports he needs built, however the data he’s asking for in one report come from multiple MDA tables and from SFDC. I’m trying to populate a new MDA table from the Rules Engine, however the custom MDA table is not showing up when I choose “Load to Gainsight Object”.











Why would this be happening?





Thanks!

from the Rules Engine, however the custom MDA table is not showing up when I choose “Load to Gainsight Object”.



Did you set the permissions to allow writing to that object? Details here: https://support.gainsight.com/Rules_Engine/Admin_Guides/Use_Rules_to_Load_to_SFDC_Object_or_Gainsight_Object#Permissions





Objects won't show up until you enable them and the specific fields in the object you want to make available for rules upsert.



Confused: Why would I have to give myself permission to write to a custom object that I created? What's the origin of this logic? Is this just legacy logic that will be deprecated in the near future?



With the Gainsight NXT version, we don’t need to provide permissions to the MDA Objects. The Objects which are created in MDA, by default we can choose in Rules Action Part. No need for Permissions.

Thanks.

Yes James, this is a legacy logic. The idea way for admins to have an indirect way to control any damages caused by any newer/inexperienced admins. We did away with it in NXT. 

For SFDC however, this is still the case and quite a lot of our customers have multiple admin scenarios I mentioned above.
