Configure Renewal Center

Gainsight NXT

 

This article explains how to configure various sections of Renewal Center. After reading this article, admins can set up the Salesforce connector to sync opportunity data, configure forecast list view and detail view pages, and setup color codes for different churn types.

Pre-Deployment Checklist 

  • To support the out of the box analysis, the following standard fields of the GS Opportunity object must be mapped from the Salesforce Opportunity or updated using Rules Engine. The below data requirements are applicable only to the Analyze function. Opportunity management using Forecast in Renewal Center, C360, or Cockpit do not require the below data:
    • Target Amount is the original renewable value of an opportunity. This value is usually determined at the time of the original sale. This field supports the summary calculation for “Renewals Due.” “Renewals Due” is the denominator in the calculations for Gross and Net Renewal Rates.
    • Forecast Amount is the estimated total sale amount. For a renewal opportunity, if this value is higher than the Target Amount, then the difference would be considered upsell (renewal with upsell). If this value is lower than the Target Amount, then the difference would be considered downsell (renewal with downsell). For opportunities that are of type Upsell or Downsell, the total Forecast Amount value is considered upsell or downsell, respectively.
    • Final Amount: The official amount that the opportunity closed. For Won opportunities, this amount is compared to the Target Amount to calculate if a renewal has upsell or downsell. The amount is used for all Actuals calculations on the Dashboard. Customers who do not have a need for this can create a rule to make this equal the Forecast Amount.
    • The amounts here for all opportunities must be consistently ARR or MRR to ensure accurate calculations. 
    • Due Date: The original date the renewal opportunity was expected to renew. This would be one year from the original sale date for a one-year deal. This date is used to calculate if a renewal is early or late, as compared to the Close Date. Customers who do not track Due Dates can create a rule to make this equal the Close Date. The Late Renewal chart and Action Card will not be available.
  • To create new opportunities in Renewal Center, you must configure all the fields that are required to pass validation rules in Salesforce. This configuration includes the creation of the custom field in Data Management, map in Connector, and configure in the Opportunity Detail View. To know more, refer to the Create and Configure Custom Fields in Renewal Center article in the Additional Resources section of this article.

Note: When you sync a Picklist data type field from Salesforce to Renewal center, all the Picklist values are automatically synced from Salesforce. You need not create Picklist values manually in Renewal Center.

  • Company ARR must be populated in the ARR field of the Company object. This supports the analysis on missing opportunities, and calculation of Data Science Likelihood Score. If you are currently populating this data in a custom field, you can create a rule to copy the data to this standard field.

Configure User Locale

Renewal Center supports and honors the user locale settings applied in your Salesforce org. When you configure the User Locale settings, Renewal Center users (Renewal Managers, CSMs etc ) can view the values in the Date and Date Time Data type fields in the selected format. By default, US Locale settings are configured. If you do not configure this section, Renewal Center users continue to see the values in US Locale format. 

To configure Locale Settings (SFDC):

  1. Navigate to My Settings in Salesforce. You can see that currently the Date values are displayed in US format.
  2. Navigate to Personal > Language & Time Zone. The Language & Time Zone window is displayed.
  3. Select the required locale from the Locale dropdown menu.
  4. Click Save.

Configure Data Permissions

Renewal Center now Gainsight Data Permissions. Admins can restrict the read and write access that users have over specific opportunities.

For example, users can be restricted to only see the opportunities that they own. To configure, navigate to Administration > Users and Permissions > Data Permissions.

Administration  Salesforce.png

Note: Renewal Center uses the GS Opportunity object. Controlling the permissions on this object determines the data displayed in Renewal Center.

For more information on Gainsight Data Permissions, refer to the Data Permissions article in the Additional Resources section of this article.

Renewal Center Objects

This section explains the objects used in Renewal Center and how data can be ingested into these objects. 

Gainsight offers four objects with the Renewal Center; GS Opportunity, GS Opportunity Stage, GS Record Type, and GS Predictions. The GS Opportunity object consists of fields that hold various information about an opportunity. Users can view and edit these fields based on the configurations made by the admin. Data is ingested into this object through the Opportunity Sync job in Salesforce Connector. Data is ingested into the GS Opportunity Stage Object through the Opportunity Stage Sync job. 

Before you configure Renewal Center, ensure that Salesforce Connector and related data sync jobs are executed. To learn more about configuring Salesforce jobs for Renewal Center, refer to the Salesforce Connector Jobs for Renewal Center article in the Additional Resources section of this article.

Configure Renewal Center 

Renewal Center admin page has multiple sections that allow you to perform various configurations. 

To configure Renewal Center, navigate to Administration > Revenue Optimization > Renewal Center.

Sync options and data import for Gainsight and Salesforce with Renewal Center admin sidebar menu highlighted.

Data

This section allows you to configure the general configurations for Renewal Center.

The following configuration options are available:

Sync Options

In this section, you can select the sync options for the Opportunity data, depending on the CRM you use. Renewal Center is available to users who do not use Salesforce at all or manage renewals outside of Salesforce.

Following options are available:

  • Gainsight: Opportunities will exist only in Gainsight. For more information on how to configure this feature, refer to the Deploy Renewal Center Without Salesforce article in the Additional Resources section of this article.

Gainsight sync option selected for creating opportunities.

  • Salesforce: Opportunities will be synchronized with Salesforce.

This section allows you to define the method through which you can sync renewal data back to the CRM, either as an Integration User or Logged In User. Integration user is the user who is designated for connector data sync from your CRM to Gainsight (generally Admins). Logged in User is the user who uses Renewal Center (CSMs, Renewal Managers).

  • Selecting Integration User allows any Gainsight user to modify or create opportunities. API must be enabled for the integration user.
  • Selecting Logged In User allows only the CRM user, who has the permissions in their CRM, to modify or create opportunities to do so. API must be enabled for the relevant user(s) in your CRM.
  • Note
    • A standard field, Source Type, in the GS Opportunity object identifies whether the opportunity is created from RC or CSQL features. The values stored in this standard field are CSQL and OPPORTUNITY. For example, for opportunities created from CSQL, the value in this field is populated with CSQL. For opportunities created or loaded via RC, Connectors, Rules Engine, C/R 360, or CTAs, the value in this field is populated with OPPORTUNITY.

    • When an opportunity is updated, Gainsight checks the source from where the opportunity was originally created or loaded. If the opportunity source is CSQL, then the synchronization options configured in the CSQL admin are followed. If the opportunity source is RC, Connectors, Rules Engine, C/R360, or CTAs, then the synchronization options configured in the RC admin are followed.

Salesforce sync option selected for creating and syncing opportunities.

To configure Sync Options:

  1. Navigate to Administration > Revenue Optimization > Renewal Center configuration
  2. In the left pane, expand the Data menu options and click Sync Options.
  3. Select the relevant sync option.
  4. Configure the settings as required.
  5. Click Save.

IMPORTANT: Sync Option selected will impact the capability of CSMs to edit the Opportunity Line details. For more information on the impact, refer to the Edit Opportunity Line section of the Renewal Center User Guide article in the Additional Resources section of this article.

Switch Sync Options

You can switch between Sync Options from Gainsight Only to Sync with Salesforce, or vice versa. However, the other sync option remains inactive if there are existing lead or opportunity records in the GS Lead or GS Opportunity objects. These records must be first deleted from Data Management.

Note:

  • You can change the sync option by deleting only opportunities created from RC and not CSQL. The SourceType field in the GS Opportunity object identifies whether the opportunity is created from RC or CSQL features. For more information, refer to the Data Operations section in this article.
  • For more information on how to delete opportunity records from the GS Opportunity object, refer to the Delete Opportunity Records section in this article.
Delete Opportunity Records

To delete opportunity records from the GS Opportunity object:

  1. Navigate to Administration > Customer Data > Data Management. The Data Management screen appears.
  2. In the Objects tab search box, enter GS Opportunity. The search results appear.
  3. In the Object Display Name column, click GS Opportunity. The Fields tab for GS Opportunity appears.
  4. Click the Data tab. The Total Records table appears.

Data Operations

This section allows you to delete records from GS Opportunity. This is required if Connector or Rules criteria has changed to sync fewer opportunities. Sync jobs should be changed before deletion, or deleted opportunities get re-added.

Admins can delete all selected opportunity records using the Delete option. When you select the global checkbox and click Select all Opportunities, all the selected opportunity records are deleted.

Note:

  • This operation will not delete opportunities from your CRM.
  • You can identify opportunities created from RC and CSQL using the Source Type field as a filter criteria.

Configure Renewal Center_Data Operations.jpg

Stages

You need to configure stages in the Data Management section to reflect the progress of Opportunities. 

For Salesforce Sync Option

This section consists of field mappings configured between the Salesforce Opportunity object and the Gainsight GS opportunity object. 

Note:

  • The field mappings are displayed as configured in the Opportunity Sync job of Salesforce Connector. 
  • Renewal Center also displays fields that are not mapped yet. (generally, these can be custom fields). You must map these additional fields as they are required to successfully update an opportunity in Salesforce.
  • To edit a field mapping, click Edit Connector
  • When you click Edit Connector, the Salesforce Connector page is displayed. 
  • Once you edit the field mappings for Opportunity Sync job and save it, the latest field mappings are populated in the Renewal Center’s Object data mapping window.

Once you configure Stages in Data Management, you can map the Type, Probability and Forecast Category in this section. 

Configure Renewal Center_Stages.jpg

For Gainsight Sync Option

You need to create stages and configure picklist values if you are using the Gainsight sync option. For more information, refer to the Deploy Renewal Center Without Salesforce article in the Additional Resources section of this article.

Global Filter

This section allows you to configure the fields for the Global filters. Users can use the configured fields to filter data. The global filter is for the user to select their book of business. The filters configured in the Global Filters section derive all of the calculations and Opportunities listed for forecasting. Global filters applied by the user are retained on the next login. 

To configure a field for Global filter:

  1. Click the Filter Configuration pane.
  2. Select a field from the Fields column to add it to the Global Filter Fields column.

Analyze

This section consists of two sub-sections which are displayed on the Analyze page. 

Forecast Scenarios

This section allows admins to configure the calculation method of Renewal Forecast and Upsell Forecast in Renewal Center.  

Summary Listing.png

Calculation Methods for Renewal Forecast and Upsell Forecast: Gainsight offers the following methods to calculate the value of the forecast fields. The methods are:

  • CRM Probability: This option multiplies the value of the Forecast Amount field with the value in the Probability(%) field, for all the qualifying opportunities and adds up the product of all opportunities to obtain Your Forecast value.      
  • Forecast Scenarios: Apart from the CRM probability method, Gainsight offers three scenarios to calculate Your Forecast value; Low, Medium, and High. These names are just for representation purposes and can be changed. For each of the three scenarios, you can configure the values from the Forecast Category fields. When you select a scenario, the Forecast Amount is added for all qualifying opportunities whose Forecast Category is one of the values configured for the selected scenario.

Note: Forecast Category is a picklist field in the GS Opportunity object. Each Opportunity has a value for this field. This value is synced from Salesforce.

In the following image, you can view the Low, Medium, and High scenarios.

Configure Renewal Center_Forecast Scenarios 1.jpg

Now, for the Low scenario, you can configure picklist values from the Forecast Category Picklist field. The below image shows that Forecast Category has five picklist values. Out of these five picklist values, Commit and Closed values are configured for the Low scenario.

Configure Renewal Center_Forecast Scenarios 2.jpg

Now, if you select the Low scenario as the calculation method for the Forecast fields, all the opportunities whose Forecast Category is either Closed and Commit, are selected for calculation. The value in the Forecast Amount field of all these opportunities is added to obtain the forecast values.

Apart from Low, you can also configure picklist values for the Medium and High scenarios. The scenario which is selected in the dropdown menu determines the calculation method for Renewal Forecast and Upsell Forecast.

Configure Renewal Center_Forecast Scenarios 3.jpg

You can also change the name of the scenarios as shown below in the following image. You must click Save after changing the name of a scenario.

Configure Renewal Center_Forecast Scenarios 4.jpg

The Renewal Center user page displays the Renewal Forecast and Upsell Forecast fields after performing the calculation by using the method you selected. Users can also see the values if other calculation methods were applied, by hovering on Renewal Forecast and Upsell Forecast.

Renewal Metrics New.png

In the following image, Your Forecast value is $19.77K. When you hover on the tooltip, you can see the values if other calculation methods were applied. 

The following table summarizes the four calculation methods for Your Forecast value:

Calculation Method Name

Calculation Method

CRM Probability

Multiplies the Forecast Amount field with Probability (%) field for all the qualifying Opportunities and adds the product of all opportunities.

Low scenario (Name can vary)

Adds the Forecast Amount field of all Opportunities whose Forecast Category is configured with this scenario.

Medium scenario (Name can vary)

Adds the Forecast Amount field of all Opportunities whose Forecast Category is configured with this scenario.

High scenario (Name can vary)

Adds the Forecast Amount field of all Opportunities whose Forecast Category is configured with this scenario.

To configure forecasts:

  1. Navigate to Administration > Revenue Optimization.
  2. Click Renewal Center.
  3. Click on the Analyze Section drop down.
  4. Click on the Forecast Scenarios pane.
  5. Select your forecast roll up method.
  6. Configure your scenarios with Forecast Category values (applicable only if either High, Medium or Low is selected).
  7. Click Save.

Booking Types

Booking type is a Gainsight category used to help Renewal Center identify opportunities that are Renewal, Upsell, and Downsell. You can configure how Renewal Center should identify these opportunities. Most customers have a different Opportunity Type or Opportunity Record Type for Renewal, Upsell, and Downsell.  Other Picklist Data type fields from the Salesforce Opportunity object may also be used. 

Mapping to Upsell and Downsell is not required for customers who do not create separate opportunities for Upsell and Downsell. Upsell and Downsell are also calculated when there is a difference between Forecast Amount and Target Amount, for Open opportunities. For closed Opportunities, the difference between the final amount and the target amount is considered.

Configure Renewal Center_Booking Types.jpg

You can now select any combination of Record type and Picklist values, to define your Booking type.

A Booking Type is assigned to all the opportunities once you configure and save this page. If you have not created opportunities exclusively to track Downsell and Upsell, it is not required for you to perform any mappings. Gainsight automatically calculates Renewals with upsell and Renewals with downsell based on the difference between the forecasted amount and target amount. Renewal with upsell and Renewal with downsell are derived Booking types.

Note: All of the Opportunity records are checked to verify if they satisfy the matching criteria for a Booking type. If a record qualifies the matching criteria for multiple booking types, the record is added to the first Booking type for which it matched the criteria.

IMPORTANT: When you click Save, the entire set of opportunity records are re-calculated. This process could take several minutes, depending on the number of records present and the system load. Ensure that you update this configuration during maintenance windows to avoid locking any records which are being used by users.  

Note: The Renewal Center user page also consists of a Forecast Chart. It displays a bar chart for each of the Booking types against the Stages. The color for each stage is derived from the RM Opportunity Stage dropdown menu. If you have not configured any color for a stage, a random color is assigned to that stage.

Configure color.png

In the above image, only the Value Proposition and Prospecting Stages are configured with colors. So the Renewal Center page displays only these Stages with the configured color. Other Stages are assigned a random color.

Detail View

In this section, you can configure the fields which need to be displayed on the Opportunity detail view page. You can also add a custom label to the configured fields. You can also make a field editable or non-editable. You must add and configure all the fields required to update the Opportunity records per the validation rules configured in Salesforce. If you fail to do this, Gainsight cannot sync Opportunity updates back to Salesforce and users will see corresponding error messages from the validation rules while saving an opportunity.

To display a field on the Opportunity detail view:

  1. Select the required field from Forecast fields column to add it to the Forecast Detail view field layout column.
  2. (Optional) Drag and drop the ellipsis menu of a field, to change the order of display.
