Global Settings for Surveys

Gainsight NXT

 

This article explains to admins how the NPS® and CSAT are calculated within Gainsight.

Overview

The Global Settings for Surveys helps admins to control how NPS® and CSAT attributes are calculated/viewed across the application. Admins have the flexibility to:

  • Choose the desired surveys.
  • Switch between Average and True NPS®.
  • Define the default time period on which CX metrics are reported.
  • Carry over an older value when the latest NPS or CSAT is not available.
  • Roll relationship surveys to company level CX metrics.

IMPORTANT: You will notice a change in the NPS® and CSAT values for each Company in Gainsight as we are changing the way NPS®/CSAT is calculated to provide more flexibility.

Configure Survey Settings

To configure NPS® and CSAT settings:

  1. Navigate to Administration > Customer Experience > Surveys. 
  2. In the Surveys Settings page, you can select:
  1. Click Save.

NPS® Settings

Configure the following options to update the scores in the Company object and Gainsight Home:

Choose NPS® Calculation

By default, the NPS® score in the Survey section of the C360/R360 page displays the calculated average score of all responses to that survey. Any change to this configuration displays the ‘True’ NPS® score, which is not the average of response scores, in the C360/R360 page for each survey displayed in the 360 Surveys section.

You can configure and decide the view of NPS® using the following options:

  • True NPS®
  • Average NPS®

For more information about how True NPS® is calculated, refer to the Calculation of True NPS on Survey Responses article.
