I'm looking for a way to create an article within the community that only people who have the link can access and read, something like a restricted view. Any ideas?

We have enterprise CSMs who manage multiple accounts, some with 100+ locations.  Each of the individual locations have CTAs specific to that location, but some times need to be updated in mass. My request is for the ability to mass update CTAs to change their due date or mass snooze CTAs for the same amount of time.

I've noticed that topic is set as a sticky but it doesn´t appear top of the page. This occurs in our community and I looked some other as well and problem appears there as well. 

*New User*I'm trying to build onboarding guides for trial users, so basically there's a pop-up box that needs to be filled so I'm out of options of navigating to the next steps.Options I've tried and didn't really work: With 'next’ button, as you click next the desired pop-up closes ​​​​ hovering causes it to close too early and unable to choose previous option hence moving to next step text input doesn't really work as there's some predefined options and even if you choose one it doesn't really move to the next stepAny help or guidance will be appreciatedTIA

I’m looking into the integration of Gainsight CS and CC. Going through the eLearning on Gainsight University which consistently speaks about linking Community Users to Company Persons and Companies. Are they also being linked to Relationship Persons and Relationships?

Since launching their Academy, they’ve:Reduced live onboarding time by 75% 🚀 Increased daily training engagement by 500% 📈 Improved content quality 🎯Aleks Petrovic, Product Learning Architect at Uptick, (who is also my customer!) shared:"There’s been a lot less derailing since Uptick Academy launched—things stay on schedule."Do these outcomes resonate with your goals? Have you achieved something similar, or are you looking to? Let us know in the comments, or feel free to connect with your CSM to share your thoughts or explore what’s next f

Is anyone aware of any way to add captions to videos in CE? We have some users who are hard of hearing and if this is possible it’s not obvious how to enable it.

Good morning, I am taking over our community and and updating the flow of status’ for ideas.Currently all open suggestions are in a status of “Received” which is the default status.I would like to bulk update the status of all these items to the next status in the flow “Reviewed- open” so my clients knows that they have been reviewed. Is this possible? If it is not possible, is it possible to change the Default status, so I can ceate a new status for all new ideas?  Thanks a lotjon

Hi there, as the title says:We wanted to know if it’s possible to GET Custom User Profile Fields via API?Specifically with the “Fetches all Users” Call, but generally speaking as well. If I do a user export or a Segment Export, I will see the Custom User Profile Fields. I would like to ask if this is possible via API as well. Use case: We might ask some our users upon registration to opt in to a different category of newsletters, and to our UX Research Programs. We might do this with a Radio Button and/or Checkbox. I wanted to push certain user contacts into an e.g. Mailing List or into Salesforce (via API or via Zapier) based on whether/not they selected which checkbox / button (upon signup or afterwards in their profile).Thank you very much in advance!

Hi,When pulling a segment csv export I have 2 columns, I don’t understand what they stand for. Q: What is meant by “last activity”?Q: What is meant with “last visit”? (Last visit is before last activity.)  In the segments overview “Last activity” is defined as when someone last viewed something on the Communtiy platform:  As only a few members have entered a “Last visit” timestamp. For many it is empty and I don’t understand why. The first date timestamps are years old, so it doesn’t seem like this functionality was added recently and only applies since.I have exported the csv from a segment in order to find out who registered and never came back after registration day, and we have lost early on in their Member Journey. Best, Lena

Hi everyone!  I’m currently trying to create a custom view in our content overview and was wondering if we’re able to input multiple search terms and utilize some of the typical web search engine tricks. For example, using “OR” (ex. “apples” OR oranges”) or “AND” (“apples” AND “oranges”). Some other examples here. Or do we have to create different views for each term? 

Hi everyone, I have 800 members in my community, many of whom are not active. I an in the process of creating a campaign to remind the members of the community and encourage those who have not engaged to do so. However I dont know how many of the 800 members would receive the emails from the campaign as they may have unsubscribed from receiving emails. Is there a way to see who has unsubscribed so I can reach out to them personally, and if they are unsubscribed is there a way for me to resubscrube them? Thanks a lot

Hi everyone, I’m look at the data flow diagram in object analyzer for our Company object. One of the inputs shows ‘Account’, with ‘Gainsight Connect’ under ‘Type’, which is separate from our SF connector, as this shows the name of the job as the Name, and under ‘Type’ shows ‘Sfdc’. Any ideas what the ‘Gainsight Connect’ part is?  Thank you and have a lovely weekend!Grace

  Gainsight has powerful tools for viewing and analyzing your data. Those include our Report Builder, Data Designer, and Dashboards. If you are running complex reports on a large dataset, you may want to optimize the performance of your reports and dashboards with some of the tips below.ReportsAvoid the “Contains”, “Starts With”, and “Ends With” filtersThe “Contains” filter is a very intensive search operation and can be very slow to return. Instead, we recommend using an Equals filter whenever possible. “Starts With” and “Ends With” will also result in a slower search than Equals.Avoid overly complex Advanced LogicWe allow for complex formulas to be built in the Advanced Logic section of reports. If you are trying to perform complex logic on a large dataset, you can see slowness. We recommend finding ways to simplify the logic so the report can return quicker.  For example: Instead of having three filters for Region = One, Region = Two, Region = Three      With Advanced Logic of (A O

Hi folks, I have a low priority, nice to have, not need ask from my branding colleagues: They are asking me to differentiate the text on the “Related Topics” section of our community. Playing around with the the theme branding, I know that I need to edit the “header” option to load the color, however, I don't want to apply the color to all the other sections.  Does anyone have a code for customizing the “Related Topics” section. I’m wondering if I make it a little larger or underline that might satisfy the request as well and I wont need to change color.  Below is an example of the Gainsight “Related Topics” section: 

How do I set “Complete” cookies to be the default for all users? Also, how do I make cookie settings appear via banner to meet GDPR regulations when the user first logs in?  

Hi everyone,Is it possible to hide the topic type selection for when someone is creating a post? We’d like to simplify the topic creation process and were curious if this step could be skipped/hidden.

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?

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.

I noticed something really quite odd with our system emails. First, I noticed the logo wasn’t rendering when the emails went out. Next, when looking at the HTML for each of the system emails, the source URL for the image is QUITE ODD. The URL reference a health-related organization; nothing to do with my company or Gainsight. And the issue is in each of the system email templates. That suggests to me that the update didn’t come from us, but was pushed as part of the CC platform code. But before I submit a ticket, I was wondering if others have this same issue. If it’s widespread, that really seems to suggest it was pushed across the platform by mistake. While you’re here. Vote for this idea:  

Slowness started I think last Monday, randomly. Pages open slowly.Last night one of our superuser reported that she got this error: She also got error500 page as well.Today our moderator got that “Sorry, this page is currently unavailable” error when she tried to open drafts from Control. I got this error randomly last Monday when I used Control.I tried to reply to topic few minutes ago and I got “Somethings gone wrong” error.Is there anyone else having same, random problems?
