Gainsight PX Dashboard Overview
This article explains the different categories of dashboards, different actions that can be performed on dashboards, and various widget configurations.
Overview
Dashboards are a powerful tool to provide quick insight into different key metrics related to product QBR, growth, and adoption. Users can also create their own unique dashboard to access the metrics that matter to them, at a glance.
Dashboard Permissions
Once you create dashboards, you can share them with users across the subscription by clicking the share icon to view and edit the live dashboards to which they have access.
Gainsight PX offers the following three dashboard permissions.:
- Private
- Public
- Give Access to Specific Users
Private
All the dashboards created by you are listed under this category. Only you can view, edit, and delete the private dashboards. Set this permission type by selecting the Private option from the Select Permission Type dropdown.
Public
Assign the Public permission to a dashboard if you want the dashboard to be accessible to all the users in the PX subscription. By default, a dashboard is created with Public permission. To change any other permission type of a dashboard to Public, select the Public option from the Select Permission Type dropdown.
Note: When you enable Edit Access, all the users in the subscription can edit the dashboard.
Give Access to Specific People
Assign access to specific people using this permission type. You can select the required users for sharing the dashboard from the Add Users to share dropdown. You can select view/edit access permission for each user and also delete any user from the shared list.
Note: The dashboard owner's name and permission details are displayed when you hover over the Share icon in the Dashboard Home page.

Widget Customization
Each widget can be configured, cloned, and deleted. While configuring you can decide what type of graph you want to select.
Usage Time Scope
You can select the option to see the update Daily/Weekly/Monthly. You can even customize the data to produce the report/graph.
The image below shows a widget for Active users. When you select the Daily frequency, a unique user’s login count is set to 1, irrespective of the number of logins in a day. Similarly, if you select the Weekly frequency, a user’s login count is set to 1, irrespective of the number of logins throughout the week.
Each widget also compares the existing data with data that existed in the same preceding time period. For example, if you have set a time frame to the Last 7 days, the widget displays data for the last 7 days and also compares this data with the preceding 7 days and provides a percentile increase or decrease value.
In the above image, there was a 50% rise in the number of Active Users in the last 7 days, as compared to the number of Active users who existed in the 7 days, which preceded this period.
Similarly, if you have a set time frame as 30 days, the widget displays data for 30 days and also compares the existing data with the preceding 30 days to provide you with a percentile increase or decrease figure.
