Overview

Users can now save Cockpit filter conditions as a private view. The custom view can be modified, as well as re-named.

Users can also add up to 6 fields from the Call To Action and its lookup objects to the Cockpit List View using List View Configuration in the filter area.

Note: 'Apply' does not save the custom view; it just applies the filters on the existing view for your current session. If you are in the My CTAsAll CTAs, or Closed CTAs views, you have the option to save as new or apply.  Admins can make changes to these default views. These views are also listed in the Custom Views section in the Call To Action (CTA) page. For more information, refer to the Edit Default Cockpit Views article.

For commonly used filters that can be saved as private views, refer to the Cockpit List View: Commonly Used Filters article.

Note: Admins can also configure custom views for Cockpit views based on Reason, Priority, etc. using the Custom Views section in the Call to Action (CTA) page. The option to create Custom Views is only available in the Global tab. For more information on how Admin can configure custom views, refer to the Custom Views article.

FAQs

Is there a limit to the number of custom views a user can create?

No.

Are Cockpit List Views sticky?

Yes. If you log out of Gainsight, and log in later, the last Cockpit List View you were using will automatically be displayed.

Can Admins create views for users or departments?

Yes, admins can now configure custom views for Cockpit based on Reason, Priority, etc.using the Custom Views section in the Call to Action (CTA) page. The option to create Custom Views is only available in the Global tab. For more information on how Admin can configure custom views, refer to the Custom Views article.

Can I sort by CTA Assignee in custom views?

Yes, there are two ways to do this. You can use the Assignee default filter under the Filter icon if you just want to look at one user's CTAs, or all user's CTAs. To see CTAs for more than one user, add another Assignee filter and select another user value and save the view. For more information, refer to the Cockpit List View: Commonly Used Filters article.

If a User or Company doesn't meet the criteria for a layout, will the default layout be used?

Yes. And if a Company matches more than one criteria for a layout, the first matching layout will be applied.

Is there a recommended view for new Gainsight users?

The default Cockpit List view is "My CTAs," without any filters applied. If your org is starting out by triggering just a handful of CTAs, then this view is a good option. But as your organization expands its use of CTAs to include manually created CTAs, or Survey-triggered CTAs, and CTAs triggered off of health scores, for example, then you will probably want to use more of the filters and create custom views. For instructions on how to create some commonly used filters/views, refer to the Cockpit List View: Commonly Used Filters article.
