Configure R360 Page and Section Types

Gainsight NXT

 

Overview

This article walks Admins through the setup and configuration of your Relationship360 (R360) Details page. This page is a detailed view of the business information of a Relationship in Gainsight, created by pulling data from a variety of sources. The R360 Details page is composed of multiple sections.

There are three types of sections that you can include in the R360 page:

  • Standard sections: available out-of-the-box with Gainsight (for example, Summary, Attributes, Sponsor Tracking), but can be modified to some degree by an Admin.
  • Related List sections: to display reports on a particular topic (for example, Surveys, Programs associated to the Relationship, etc.).
  • Embed page: for embedding pages using URLs, to display things like Box (file storage), in their own R360 section.  

Note: Currently there is no hard limit regarding the number of related lists that can be added to the R360. Any performance issues you may encounter (such as slow load times) greatly depend on the size of the list being referenced, and the complexity of the query.

Global/Standard 360 Sections

Gainsight offers the following 11 standard Relationship 360 Sections in the Local Available sections:

  1. Attributes
  2. Cockpit
  3. Embed Page
  4. Person (refer article on Configure Relationship 360 Person Section)
  5. Related List
  6. Scorecard
  7. Sponsor Tracking (refer article on Configure Sponsor Tracking)
  8. Success Plan
  9. Summary (refer article on Configure Relationship 360 Summary Section)
  10. Survey
  11. Usage (refer article on Configure Usage Section in 360)

Global Sections

Global Sections is a section library, which allows you to create the most commonly used sections with specific configurations and keep them readily available, for using them in multiple layouts. Sections that you create in the Global Sections appear in the GLOBAL pane in the Available sections of each layout configuration page. The primary purpose of Global Sections is to save admins time.

Advantages of using Global Sections:

  • Once you add a section to the layout from Global Sections, changes made at Global level are reflected in the section added to each layout. Refer Use Case 1.
  • You can add a Global section to any layout, decouple it, and customize it as per your business requirement. Refer Use Case 2.

Note: There is no limit to the number of Global Sections that you can create.

Use Case 1: For instance, Admin has configured 9 layouts, out of which 3 layouts each are configured for Relationship Type A, Type B and Type C in Company::XYZ and you have different summary sections for Type A, Type B and Type C. If you want to make any changes to the Type A Summary Section, you can do it from Global Sections, and you will see all the changes being reflected in the 3 layouts assigned to Relationship Type A.

Use Case 2: For instance, Admin has configured 5 layouts for Relationships in Company::XYZ and a common Summary Section is added to all 5 Layouts from Global Sections. If you want to make changes in one of the summary sections, you can decouple the section from Global Sections and make the changes and those changes will be reflected only in that particular section.

Use Case 3: For instance, Admin has configured a Global section of type Related List on the Calls to Action object, in which there are 5 reports. If you want to add this Global section to multiple layouts, you can directly drag and drop the section from Global left pane of the Available sections to the Selected sections.

You can create Global sections on the following Section types:

  • Attribute
  • Embed page
  • Related List
  • Summary
  • Person

To create Global Sections:

  1. Navigate to Administration > Relationship > SECTIONS. You can see a list of Global sections in this page.
  2. Click + SECTION.
  3. Enter the following information:
    1. Name: Enter name of the section.
    2. Type: Select type of the section. There are five section types as listed above.
    3. Description: (Optional) Enter the section description.
  4. Create a Global section for each type as shown below:

Configuration of the Global section of type Summary is shown in the following image:

Parameterize URL for Embed Web Page in Dashboard 

Admins can leverage Global Filters as parameters to control the embedded web page content dynamically. A parameter lets an admin store and manage a value that can be reused via Global Filter. This enhances the ability of the Global Filter to not just filter data within Gainsight but also filter data outside of Gainsight. For more information on how to add individual parameters, refer to the How to Add Parameters to the Embed Web Page article.

Add Widget type reports to R360

Admins can add Widget report types to the R360 page as a new summary section. Reports created in Gainsight with a lookup to Relationship object can only be added to the R360 page. For more information on how to add widget report types to the R360 page, refer to Add Widgets to Summary.

Note: If the fields used in the report do not have lookups to Relationship, the widget report cannot be displayed in the R360 page.
