Auto.pngHorizon Image.png Simplify Add Sources in AE Object Configuration

Gainsight has now redesigned the Source and Field configuration for Adoption Explorer powered by Gainsight Horizon Experience. The Horizon Experience simplifies the product and improves customer experience. With this enhancement, Gainsight aims to make the admins more productive by:

  • Reducing complexity and simplifying navigation experience, through a clear step by step process to ingest usage data from sources, select the necessary fields, and perform any type of validations and data preparation.
  • Adding capability to prepare data before loading to Adoption Explorer objects.

These options help users save time and standardize their customer communications.
Auto.png 1._community_logo.pngSend Email from Cockpit or Timeline with the new enhancement

Note for BETA Customers: Email from Anywhere is termed as Email Assist 2.0 with new functionality. The relevant documents will be available on support.gainsight.com.

IMPORTANT: The Email Assist 2.0 update will be made available  to customers on three separate dates due to migration to Email Logs V2. The availability of the feature will be communicated to customers the week before their rollout date as provided in the table below.

Group Customer Communication Date Email Assist 2.0 Rollout Date
Group1 May 02,2022 May 7, 2022
Group2 May 16,2022 May 21, 2022
Group3 May 31, 2022 June 4, 2022

This is an enhanced version of Email Assist, that helps users to send emails from different areas (Cockpit and Timeline) of Gainsight.

Currently, Email Assist in Cockpit and Timeline provide two different experiences, with slightly different sets of features. With Email Assist 2.0, we have unified the platform for consistent user experience. Some of the improvements include:

  • Support for organization wide email addresses
  • Email templates will now be displayed in Folder structure.
  • Support for Horizon Analytics reports
  • Easier Email preview and testing
  • Improved Email stats.
  • Increased attachment Limit of 20MB.
  • Increased receipt limit of 25.
  • Easier logging to Timeline.

IMPORTANT: This feature will only be available to tenants with Horizon Analytics. To activate this Horizon Analytics feature, contact Gainsight Support.

Business Use Case: A CSM can send an email directly from Cockpit or Timeline to a customer to determine a suitable time to conduct an Executive Business Review (EBR), or to gather more details about a negative response to a Net Promoter Score ( NPS®) Survey.

Auto.png 1._community_logo.png Organization Wide Email Address

Gainsight users can choose Organization wide email ID as From and Reply-to addresses.

Business Use Case: A user wants to send an email on behalf of the team or team member. Admin requests the email owner to approve sending on behalf of them for the list of allowed users. The owner of the email must approve/disapprove the request permission for each user who can send emails on their behalf.

Auto.png 1._community_logo.png Ability to choose different From / Reply-To address

Gainsight users can choose From and Reply-to addresses from a list of email addresses that an admin configures.

Business Use Case: A user wants to send an email on behalf of a team member. They can select the email ID from the From/Reply-To Address and send the email.

IMPORTANT: Email Log Reporting: Previously Cockpit and Timeline Email Assist emails were logged to Email Logs 1.0 while JO emails were logged to Email Logs 2.0. With the unification of the Email Assist 2.0 platform, we have also unified all email log data to utilize Email Logs 2.0. For current reports built on Email Log 1.0, Gainsight has a back sync process (1-hr delay) in place to copy data from Email Log 2.0 to 1.0 in support of reports built on Email Logs 1.0. However, Gainsight strongly recommends that customers start rebuilding reports to utilize the unified Email Logs 2.0 object.

IMPORTANT:

  • If multiple CSMs join a single meeting, only one CSM can add the activity and the other CSMs will see the message that there is already an activity added for the meeting.  The other CSMs can either navigate to the activity in Timeline or add a new activity, however,the new activity will not be shown in the current meeting for all the CSMs.
  • At any time only one calendar can be synced with Gainsight. Calendar Widget will not honor the global filters in Gainsight Home.
manual.png 1._community_logo.png Multiple Layouts in Gainsight Home

Bulk Delete Support for External Survey Responses

Gainsight supports import of NPSⓇ and CSAT data (Survey Responses) from an external system into Gainsight, but there is always a chance of wrong files or wrong records being imported/loaded. Users could not undo the action as they do not have delete capability. Gainsight has now resolved this problem by enabling the  option to delete external survey responses in bulk after importing.

To delete external surveys in bulk:

  1. Navigate to Surveys > click the number listed in the Responses column. The Analyze tab > Survey Statistics page for the specific External Surveys appears and all the responses are listed here.
  2. Click Select all responses (#). All the responses available within the External Survey are selected.
    Note: The Select checkbox helps you to select the number of responses listed on the same page and not all the responses. Bulk delete support is not applicable to other types of Survey responses.
  3. Click Delete Responses.

Note: When a filter is selected, for example if any user wants to delete the responses for any external Survey associated with a specific Company Name, the Select all responses (#) button name changed to Select all that match (#)

unnamed (7).png

1._community_logo.png Other External Surveys Related Enhancements

In the Survey list page, when external surveys are loaded, there is no way to identify which surveys are External Surveys in the the list. This creates confusion in identifying the accurate number of External Surveys that are loaded into Gainsight. To resolve this problem, Gainsight has now made the External Surveys visible in the Survey List.

  • A new symbol unnamed (8).png is now added to the surveys which are external and loaded into Gainsight via Rules Engine.

    unnamed (9).png
  • Users can also filter the list of External Surveys by selecting External from the quick view dropdown menu.
    unnamed (10).png

IMPORTANT: Whenever users add a person from anywhere in the application, this rule is applicable. Without providing the mandatory information that is set as the resolution key, users cannot add a person.

clipboard_e04fa722e0d5ba1a5c494a7642ab3d3a7.png

Notes:

  • The fields chosen as resolution keys are available by default in the C/R 360 layout admin of the People section and they cannot be removed from the configuration in the Detail View whereas the functionality for the other fields remains the same.

  • If the admin decides to change the resolution keys in the Global People admin section, the same fields are populated in the C/R 360 layout admin of the People section.

Auto.png Person Now Called as People

In this release, Gainsight has replaced the term ‘Person’ with ‘People’ in the People Management feature. The naming convention has been changed to 'People' wherever the 'Person' section has a list of names and IDs in the feature.

Gainsight introduces Design Templates in Data Designer. Users can now save their common data preparation steps as Design Templates. They can now also create new designs from the already existing templates instead of starting from scratch.

Business Use Case: Consider design A, in which CSM has built a design for fetching information on accounts with no Success Plans over a period of 12 Months.

To create a similar design B for information comparison over a period of 6 Months, the CSM can save the design A as Design Template in Data Designer and can re-use this design with modifications as required.

Admins can now prevent duplicate user records to be synced from Salesforce to Gainsight by selecting Salesforce User Id as an Identifier in the Out Of the Box (OOB) User job in the Connector jobs page. For more information on OOB User job, refer to the User Sync section in the Salesforce Connector article.

Note: In case Salesforce User ID is selected as an Identifier and there was a change in the user attributes in Salesforce,  the OOB connector job will update all those user attributes (except Username) in Gainsight. Contact Gainsight support to create a Techops ticket to update Username in Gainsight.
