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
  • 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
