    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Customer Goal metrics remain largely manual, creating:Additional operational overhead Manual maintenance effort Risk of outdated customer goals Reduced scalability for large customer portfoliosRequested EnhancementWe would like Gainsight to provide native support for updating Customer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.

    Converted ARR and other currency fields as a default field call for APINew Idea

    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.
