As useful as naming an email template is, having folders, etc., none of that really helps you when you get a screenshot of an email from a CSM asking for some information on an email.Would be great if we could search Email Templates by subject, which is more commonly used, and actually available information from looking at the email itself.Yes, you might have multiple with the same name, but it can help narrow things down quite a bit.
It’s driving me and my team crazy that when we open a company it opens in a new tab. We’re constantly getting tab clutter. This isn’t currently a tenant change that can be made - it’s global. Proposing here that this becomes and option for us to choose and set our system default for.
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!
Problem:Widget titles are automatically pulled from the report name, which creates a UX conflict: report names need to be descriptive for discoverability and organization (e.g. "Avg NPS Current Quarter (Accounts XYZ Only)", but that same string becomes the widget title in dashboards, where it often gets truncated with ellipses.This is a behaviour across all report types, but it's especially noticeable with KPI widgets, which occupy a small space and rely heavily on a clean, readable title to communicate value at a glance. The ask:Allow admins to set a custom display title at the dashboard/widget level, independently of the report name when desired. The report name stays untouched for search and organization, but on the dashboard, you could show something concise like *"Avg NPS Current Quarter"*, which is enough when the surrounding context already tells the story. As a nice complement, the full report name could be shown on hover prefixing the report description.
The default view in community posts are set to show the oldest reply first, when intuitively it is of more value to have the newest posts be the default. We realize the users themselves can change this view, however, some may not realize they are able to so it maybe beneficial to our community and possibly others to allow admins to make the choice for this setting.
When creating a CTA for Risk, we want to be able to notify the Account Exec when the CTA is created. We typically use chatter for a manual reach out, but would like to @mention the AE in chatter at the point of CTA creation. This allows the AE to be more quickly prepared when they have the conversation with the CSM. We’ve tried putting @mentions in the comment section of the CTA rule, both with and w/o using tokens. The text shows up in the comments as expected, but the @mention doesn’t link. @meenal_shukla FYI
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.
Sponsor Tracking: We have an option to add more than 1 contact to the sponsor tracking but these contacts should be from the same account. What if I have around 5K contacts from 1000 accounts? Should I go to each account and add to the sponsor tracking? It is not going to work for anyone. The current existing UI for sponsor tracking is working for the users who would like to track contacts one by one but not working for customers who wants to start using Sponsor tracking because they are expecting an easy way to add all the existing contacts to the sponsor tracking. 4 customers reached out to us for bulk sponsor tracking in the last 6 months.It would be benefit for the customers if we provide a UI to upload CSV with the list of contacts to track and Gainsight should process them and add to the sponsor tracking.
Currently when a profile is found for Sponsor Tracking you have to go to Suggested Profiles tab to accept the tracking and then REFRESH the page to have the updates show on the Profile Updates tab. This extra step is often missed by CSMs as they accept the profile(s) and believe that’s all that needs doing. It would remove a lot of friction of accepting the initial Title and Location was possible in the same flow as accepting the profile itself.
It would be great if Gainsight allowed you to mark a field as mandatory post-creation despite existing records having null values. I would love it if one of the two were true:Field can be marked mandatory if there are null records, but records with NULL values will prompt field population upon next “edit” on the record page (ie if field is on C360, next time C360 is in “edit” mode, there is an error to populate the field before saving) Field can be marked mandatory with Admin prompted to set a default value which will automatically populate for all NULL legacy records before field was mandatory.The process right now is too clunky and time-consuming. This would save a lot of time, make the admin experience much smoother, and help with data integrity. (and yes, I do have previous Salesforce admin experience and am missing this functionality greatly in Gainsight 😭)
Currently the engagement editor has a palette of about 30 default colors that can be easily applied. It would be nice to enter hex codes that match the theme of our product and save these into this color palette to allow easily applying colors for text, headers, buttons, etc.
Engagements have significant ramifications for what end users see. Given the power and speed as which mistakes can be made it would be good for audit purpose to know who made what changes on an engagement. As engagements are not protected by either the creating user or the product (anyone with Engagement permissions can edit any engagement) it is very possible for others to make unwanted edits to an engagement that could then go out and be problematic with no way to identify the cause. Ask is for a historical log of who made edits to engagements.
The date filter in reporting currently offers limited dynamic preset options (Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days, Last Week, Last Month). These are limiting when trying to analyze data across more meaningful business timeframes.We'd love to see additional dynamic date presets added, such as:- Last 90 Days- Current Quarter / Last Quarter- Year to Date (YTD)- Last 12 MonthsThese are standard reporting intervals, and having them available would significantly improve the reporting experience for teams who review learning data on a quarterly or annual cadence. Manually setting date ranges as a workaround adds unnecessary steps, plus this doesn’t work when trying to schedule reports since the dates don’t roll.
For documentation purposes, we like to retain a record of which CTAs were adjusted for whatever reason. It is annoying to essentially have to rebuild that report twice in order to get an export and then to be able to actually do the update. It would be good to have a download option right from the CTA Mass Edit view. Obviously affects Tasks and Success Plans too.
Raising this Idea on behalf of a customer.They have raised a concern that their SAML connection has been removed and this went unnoticed since only 2 of the users actually login through SAML and from support we were unable to identify who has performed it since the logs are only available upto 30 days of time. We request the product team to review the possibilty to add audit logs in UI so next when someone makes any changes to SAML connection the changes can be reviewed by the admins.
Both our account managers and CSMs use Timeline which is great, the bad part is that they aren't able to collaborate on meeting notes. We have situations where there is a customer meeting, and then both the CSM and AM post notes recapping their insights from the meeting and it clogs up the timeline. Is an improvement coming where team members can collaborate on a timeline post?
Hi team! It would be great if we can allow drop downs to be multi-select so you don't have to use a number of check boxes. Can we consider this as an enhancement?
Customer wants a timeline entry for product audit. In that audit, there will be multiple products that will be audited. How can they mark more than one product in the dropdown that shows up if there is no multi-select picklist option?
We have a use case where it would be helpful to see in Gainsight all of the upcoming customer calls/onsites, which we typically have stored in individual CSM calendars. Is there a way to do this presently in the system? If not, I know there's an ongoing thread about CTAs and GCal integrations that I think is similar (and not redundant) to this request.
When adding new fields to Timeline Activities, it looks like the only options for "Field Type" are Text, Date, Number and Checkbox. Is a "Picklist" type field anywhere in future plans? I'm trying to match the Timeline Call Activity fields to my existing Salesforce Call Log fields, so that the calls will sync over to Salesforce, but we have several required Picklist fields in Salesforce, and I don't want to end up with a lot of messy data from open text fields.
As our organization increases adoption of the tool and we have multiple operations team members working inside of Gainsight, there needs to be a mechanism for tracking changes that were made and by whom - both at the administration level and the user level. As of now any changes have to be tracked manually - if at all. A nice addition to this would be the ability to receive a daily or weekly digest of all administrative changes that occurred.
I am trying to write some basic calls for collecting reporting data from the Company object using the API and have found that it is not natively possible to collect converted ARR from the API. Support recommended that we create a custom field that holds converted_Arr and or the conversion rate. The problem with this is that it is useful to be able to just call any currency field and sort on normalized data before returning results. Example I want to pull the top 25 companies by ARR in base currency. I want the API to spit out 25 results, not all results, then convert them, then filter again. Also setting up a secondary converted field for every currency field is error prone and an unnecessary waste of database storage and computational resources. And it is prone to error since this would need to be stored individually in every native and custom object. I would love for it to be natively possible in the api to simply have a call include a .converted field transformation or derived field such as:"select": [ "Gsid", "Name", "Arr", “Arr.converted”, "CurrentScore.Name" ] This would ideally convert to the corporate currency defined in the currency management. Alternately it would be helpful to be able to convert to any currency in the currency manager (ie Arr.USD, Arr.SEK, Arr.GBP). This would ideally also function on all APIs with all objects.
