We should be able to search on a custom field on the relationships object (and/or passthrough rel-comp field) in the Main Gainsight Search box at the top of Gainsight.

We search for customers in Gainsight using a custom 5-digit field on the Company Object.  We use relationships primarily.  When we search for this code in the primary Gainsight search - the result set returns Companies but not Relationships.  If we click on Company, then the Relationships Tab in the C360, we can click on the correct relationship R360.

If we search by customer name - Gainsight returns both Customers and Relationships - and we can click directly on the Relationship we want.  This is a big time saver, since we work almost all the time in relationships. 

Currently we are blocked from searching custom fields on the relationship object “You can search the Relationship only with Name fields. If you add other than Name fields in the configuration, you can only view those fields, but cannot search Relationship with those fields.”

Adding the ability to search custom fields on the relationship would be consistent with what is available for company search supporting feature parity for relationships users.

This is a great idea!

I’m newish to an instance of Gainsight with Relationships, and I was wondering why the Default ‘Name’ field on the Relationship object was implemented as a conjunction of the Name plus our internal ID by the solution architect.

Now it makes sense! Because I wouldn’t be able to search by the internal ID otherwise!

A simpler solution, rather than requiring this type/kind of workaround, is outlined by Wayne above.

Best,

Ben Wanless

Update - ​@Wayne reached out and said he saw this working today…  I re-tested and it is working as of tonight.  No idea why it was was blocked earlier.   

Tested the search is working as well - so whatever Gainsight did, or refresh interval - thank you!
