Admin defined views for Timeline

Hello @angela_domenichelli, thank you for your post. This idea sounds great and is being sent over to our Product Manger to look into and get back to you to check the possibilities of the same. 

@angela_domenichelli Thank you so much for adding this Product Idea. We will definitely look into this and update once the idea has been added to our roadmap.

Agreed - I’ve tried to train users on setting these up, but it would be very helpful to just be able to push it to them.

It has been an specific request from our CSMs to have a default/universal view created for the CSMs.

@kumaranbcak Can you please elaborate on the issues faced by your CSMs? Is the View option for CSM not helpful in solving the issue?

@angela_domenichelli YES!!!! 100%!!!!! It is so silly that we can create admin defined views for Cockpit, but not Global Timeline. I spend too much time training users on how to create custom views, and troubleshooting their issues when their custom view is unsuccessful.

There are so many use cases for this need, but here are just a few from my end:

• Author  = Current User
• Company > CSM = Current User
• Company > Sales Rep = Current User
• Author  = Current User AND Activity Date >= Today (to find mistakes in activity logging)

I have over 150 users of Gainsight. I can’t triage and train every user on creating custom filter views.

The most important thing here is to have consistency in the Gainsight experience, not only as an Admin but also as a User. Cockpit already has system-defined view (My CTAs, Overdue CTAs, Closed CTAs...)...Global Timeline just has Default View. Please prioritize a consistent product experience for both user and admin with this request.

Thanks for sharing the use cases @sarahmiracle. Giving the ability to admin to push views will definitely make it a valuable experience for the CSMs and also making it simpler for our admins. We will look into this. Once I have more clarity on when this can be picked up, I will update this thread.

This also goes hand in hand with this post: 

for Objective level custom views on Success Plans. @ophirsw FYI. Not strictly a UI thing but a continuity thing if you’re interested :)

+1 to this, it would be so helpful, especially since the advanced filters can be confusing for the end user.
