    How to Report on Cheat Sheet UsageReleased

    I know that there is a desire for easier reporting on Cheat Sheet usage data, and I agree that it would be nice to have this data in Report Builder, perhaps in the GS Asset Usage Tracking object. In the meantime, however, I did want to share how we are reporting on Cheat Sheet (note: this only applies if you have access to Gainsight’s Administration tab.) If you go to your Administration > General > Gainsight360, you’ll see two different relevant reports: Overall Usage Page Views Events and Feature Usage. In both of these you can access the filters and manually change one to include “contains Cheat Sheet.” Here’s how the filter looks for the Overall Usage Page Views Events tabular report. I changed Filter F, and from here can download the data and manipulate it via Excel. As for the Feature Usage report, this is a report that shows count of actions by feature. The individual Cheat Sheet actions Gainsight tracks are actually pretty detailed and clearly labeled in my opinion, so I found this quite useful. Again, since we cannot actually add filters, I simply changed Filter D to include “contains” Cheat Sheet.The report is set as a pie chart, but I found that changing it to a bar chart is better because you can more easily see the individual events, whereas the legend in the pie chart cuts off the legend and requires a bunch of scrolling. Here’s what it looks like. Hopefully this helps!

    Update your Customer Goal Metrics via Rules Engine or APIsNew Idea

    Current LimitationCurrently, there does not appear to be a supported way to automatically update Customer Goal (Success Plan Objective) metric values in Gainsight through:Rules Engine External Actions APIs Automated data integrationsMetric fields such as:Baseline Value Actual/Current Value Target Valuerequire manual updates within the Customer Goals UI.Business NeedMany organizations track dynamic customer success metrics such as:Product usage Session clicks Feature adoption Engagement trends Health KPIsThese values change periodically (weekly/monthly) and are already available in external systems such as:Pendo Looker Snowflake S3 Product databasesCurrently, although Gainsight supports automation for CTAs, health scores, and custom objects, Customer Goal metrics remain largely manual, creating:Additional operational overhead Manual maintenance effort Risk of outdated customer goals Reduced scalability for large customer portfoliosRequested EnhancementWe would like Gainsight to provide native support for updating Customer Goal metrics programmatically through:Rules Engine actions Public APIs Connector-based updates External Actions / Event frameworkSuggested CapabilitiesSome possible approaches could include:Exposing Success Plan Objectives as updateable objects in Rules Engine Providing REST APIs for Objective metric updates Supporting automated metric synchronization from custom objects Enabling dynamic metric mapping within Customer GoalsExpected BenefitsReduced manual effort for CSM and CS Ops teams Better alignment between product telemetry and customer goals Real-time progress tracking Improved scalability of Success Plans More accurate customer success reportingExample Use CaseA customer goal such as:“Increase Webpage Session Clicks from 8,000 to 15,000”could automatically update the “Actual Value” every month using product analytics data from Pendo or Looker, instead of requiring manual updates by the CSM.
