This article lists the User and Account attributes in Gainsight PX and explains how to track the attributes.

Overview

Gainsight PX provides a set of User and Account attributes by default, and allows admin to define Custom attributes. Admins can turn ON/OFF the user, account and custom attributes as required. This allows for the Personally Identifiable Information(PII) or sensitive information of the end-users not to be tracked.  

You can view the attributes by navigating to the Administration > Attributes page. Use the Attribute Name when sending data using the Gainsight PX Web SDK or the Gainsight PX REST API.

  3. On the Create Attribute pop up, enter the Attribute Name, API name.

Note: When a custom attribute is used as a token and does not have a value then the default value replaces the token.

Historical Tracking for Attributes

Gainsight PX has the capability of tracking the historical data for the Account and User Attributes. Users and Account properties such as roles, stage, status change frequently. The tracking option allows you to trace back the values for an attribute easily. Gainsight PX stores the following details:

  • Past and current values of the attributes
  • The date on which the attribute was updated
  • The source from which the update was performed.

You can enable the tracking option while creating or editing the attribute.
