Is there anything on the roadmap that will allow us to join different objects for reporting without writing rules to merge data in MDA tables?  (which is a heavy process for a simple report).

    Not in the least. Better layout of the process here: https://community.gainsight.com/gainsight/topics/how-to-hack-bionic-reports

    Oh you're a dreamer Elizabeth! I imagine this is something the teams are working on. Seems only logical.

    Haha, Thanks Ben! I thought of that too, and it works for ad-hoc reporting, but not for something I want to share with anyone regularly.

    Very true. My use cases so far have been ad hoc in nature.

    Use Case: 

    I want to show a report that lists the open opportunities where the Close Date is less than (before) the Account's Contract Expiration Date.   I can calculate the difference in the two dates and use that as a criteria for the report... but this shows only the difference in positive integers and so also shows where the Close Date is after the Account's Contract Expiration Date, which I'm not interested in for this report.

    @anirbandutta @venky_reddy_k  Any updates on this? It’s been three years since the last update. We very much need this.

    Our use case is as follows:

    • We don’t write opportunity data into GS but display SFDC object data in reports
    • We need to aggregate opportunity data (from Salesforce) with company object data from Gainsight to create and deliver automated (and not ad-hoc) reports to Sales to flag a variety of account facts from a CS view

    I’m reluctant to syncing opportunity data from SFDC to Gainsight just to achieve this.

    Please keep us posted with an ETA.

     

    The most expensive part of building is the mistakes. That's true in construction. Not so much in CSOps. So ask questions, make mistakes and learn. All views expressed here are my own.

    Sorry for the disjointed updates here guys, Venky’s not with Gainsight anymore. Looping in @Azad for any updates on this thread you can share?

    It's an opportunity for engagement

    Hi @alizee 

    For these usecases, Data Designer is the ideal solution. Data Designer (FKA Bionic Reporting) allows you to dynamically build reports based on SFDC data and MDA data (Company ,etc.) after preparing the datasets.

    Hi @rakesh, thank you for pointing my attention to this! I wasn’t aware of the feature and its capabilities, but it looks to do what I want/need to do! 

    Thank you!
