New Idea
Gainsight CS/NXT - field type URL - short description at the object level
Proposed Enhancement: Short Display Text for URL Fields in Gainsight
Introduce an optional “Display Name” (short description) property for fields of type URL/HTML at the object level in Gainsight.
- This enhancement would allow admins to define friendly, human-readable link text (e.g., “Visit Our Site”) instead of exposing long raw URLs in Reports and Data Designer.
- The system would render the field as an HTML anchor (
<a>tag) using:- The stored URL as the
href - The defined short description as the visible link text
- The stored URL as the
- Example output:
HTML
<a href="https://example.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">
Visit Our Site
</a>
Value / Benefit
- Improves report readability and UX
- Eliminates need for manual HTML transformations or workarounds
- Standardizes link presentation across Reports, Data Designer, and downstream usage
