US Admin Office Hours (Tuesday session) - 4/7/20 1 p.m. PST - Special Announcement

Hi Spencer,

I am attempting to do some house keeping around our CTA types / Reasons as well as our Timeline categories.  During our initial development, we built out all of our CTAs and Timelines to be global, and visible from all customers / relationships.  

I would like to modify this and segment things out in a more organized fashion, for instance, when creating a ‘Risk’ type CTA, I’d like only reasons for risk to be visible, not lifecycle reasons, notification reasons, etc.  

I am seeing an error log when trying to delete existing global types / categories and am unsure where to specifically make the corrections to allow these housekeeping changes.

I’d love to get some help so I can clean things up and make a better experience for my users.

Hi @srkardel - there isn’t a great way to do this in Gainsight as of today without kind of blowing up what you currently have. There’s a pretty lively thread on this here, which I encourage you to upvote and comment on: https://community.gainsight.com/cs-ideas-21/ability-to-change-cta-types-and-reasons-1788

Spencer,

We are not currently using the Connectors 2.0 sync job between SFDC Contact and GS Company_Person.  I’m not clear why that is. 

I’ve been reviewing documentation and community posts about it, and came across your thread and video about Person/Company Person load. 

https://community.gainsight.com/data-management-integrations-12/benefits-and-admin-tips-for-using-gainsight-s-person-model-32963

My questions are: 

1. Are we missing out by not using Company_Person sync?  Any idea why we wouldn’t have chosen to enable that job when we first onboarded GS in our org?  (I realize this calls for total speculation on your part!).
2. The video outlines using Rules Engine to load to Company_Person from Contact.  What are the pros-cons of doing it that way vs the Contact - Company_Person sync in Connectors 2.0?

Questions about dropping reports in Journey Orchestrator.
Can we build dynamic reports. 

Hi Spencer, I’m working on automated CTA and am having difficulty mapping the CTA Owner.

One more, time permitting.  I created several Custom multi-select drop-down Categories.  I’m unable to bring them in to the Activity Type layout where they are needed.

Hey Spencer,

I can understand that deleting reasons / types would make CTA data out of date, but is there a way to just deactivate the CTA reasons?  I basically just want to reformat the reason types that are selectable by the CSMs when they create Manual CTAs.  With things that are already created I would just leave, just want to modify how the ‘create CTA’ menu is being shown to CSMs.

I just recently created a reason type which I have verified has never been created, and am now unable to disable / delete it.  I get a message that says the ‘Rules actions are unable to be searched’ even though the specific type + reason combination is not implemented in any rule.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks!

Are multi-select lists not supported as fields in the Activity Timeline Layout?  That seems to be the difference in categories I can view vs those I can’t when trying to add them.

Hi everyone, thanks for taking the time to attend the Analyzer webinar yesterday! Here is the recording. I believe you should also get a follow-up email from GoToWebinar today too.

@pele Per our discussion yesterday on Office Hours, I found this Community Post that would be worth you adding your comments to and upvoting: https://community.gainsight.com/cs-ideas-21/option-to-notify-if-0-results-success-for-rules-engine-3332
