Improve Company Person Lookup Fields

As it stands today, when creating a lookup field to the Company Person object, you can only search and resolve to the GSID of the Company Person record. Instead, it is advised you use the Person object - but with Person records not having a Company-level relationship, this means that even from a C360, users searching by the Person’s Name will possibly see Person records from ANY company.

Request: Allow Company Person lookup fields to resolve to Person → Email or Person → Name for ease of search/use on C360

Use case: We are building a Customer Reference database in Gainsight. On the C360, we will have reports from a low-volume custom object, allowing CSMs to add new opted-in customer references. The database (object) will have lookups to Company and to Point of Contact (POC). We were hoping POC would be Company Person lookup via email or name - obviously, email and name are pulled from the Company Person → Person lookup, so I understand it’s a layer deeper, but if we could have Company Person records searched by email or name from the Person lookup on this object, it would ensure our CSMs are selecting the proper contact… and that as contacts are updated to Inactive, we can build in review processes. Because Company Person only resolves to the GSID, we cannot do this.

This would be so so so useful. 

A major pain point is having to use the Person object on the C360 in order to search by email, but it displays ALL person records for ANY company. When in reality, we only want to limit it to Company Person records.

Additional filters on Lookup fields on C360 (similar to filters on CTA lookup fields) would also be super helpful here.

Best,

This is really needed, we use low volume objects for various things and often want a CSM to add a Key Contact. Currently we have to use a lookup to Person as Company Person only shows as a GSID which is ugly and unusable for end-user. 


But this means now ANY person record can be assigned, we want the options to be filtered to the Company they are adding the record to. Just like how it’s possible with CTAs.
