Enhancements

Dashboard

Dashboards 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.

IMPORTANT: As part of this release, the Gainsight PX Dashboard is retired. Gainsight recommends you to create a new dashboard in just a few clicks to capture the same metrics effortlessly! Set the dashboard that you often use as your default.

All the widgets of Gainsight PX Dashboard (except for the four mentioned below) are available to create a new dashboard or to add to an existing dashboard.

  • Active Users Right Now
  • Total Activated
  • Slipping Away
  • Average Events

These four widgets which will be available in the subsequent release.

Enhanced Dashboard Experience

Gainsight PX introduces a seamless user experience to create a dashboard. You can now create a dashboard in either of the following two ways:

  • Use a dashboard template.
  • Create a custom dashboard

Create Dashboards using Dashboard Templates:

The following out of the box dashboard templates are introduced to suit the most common business use cases, that lets you create a dashboard quickly. 

  • Adoption: The adoption template lists widgets that help to understand and analyze product and feature usage. 
  • Onboarding: The onboarding template lists widgets that help to analyze the insights of the customer onboarding journey, from the initial sign-up as a lead to product usage as a trial or new user.
  • Retention: The retention template lists widgets that help to understand and analyze the metrics of user or account retention
  • Trial: The trial template lists widgets that cumulatively help to derive insights into the performance of your trial program for example: free trial, fremium and so on.

For more information on Dashboard Templates, refer to Dashboard Templates article.

Analytics

PX Analytics helps you to keep your finger on the pulse of product adoption and user satisfaction. You can monitor the metrics that matter to you with custom dashboards, discover which features drive retention within each customer segment and user cohort, map and track customer adoption goals, analyze trends by customer segment, and more.

Additional Funnel Timeout Options

You can now specify the timeout duration for a Funnel in hours, days, weeks, and months. Products that need longer timeout periods to be considered for being analyzed in Funnels can take advantage of this capability. Prior to this release, you could specify the timeout value only in minutes.

Note: The maximum timeout duration allowed is 90 days or equivalent.

For more information on how to configure the Funnel timeout duration, refer to the Timeout Value section in the Funnels article.

Engagements

Engagements are communications that are executed through product (in-app) or emails for a specific audience at a specific time. These communications can be interactive in nature which helps you to share information, receive feedback, and engage customers with your product. The overall goal of using engagements is to increase your customer's product usage.

Ability to Configure Engagement Footer

Gainsight PX introduces Footer Configuration that enables admins to exclude the standard navigation buttons from the Guide engagements. As the dialog engagements do not have navigation elements, you can now easily create single step guides using the new Editor. 

CustomButton_Footer.jpg

Prior to this release, the navigation buttons were confined to a specific place in the footer of the engagement and their placement could not be changed.

We will be releasing more out of the box templates for the quick creation of engagements without standard navigation buttons.

Enhanced Actions for Custom Buttons in Editor

Gainsight PX has now enhanced the call to actions that can be configured on the Custom Buttons in Editor with a single-click. This helps to automate more prescriptive  in-app user journeys. In addition to URL navigation, admins can now configure the custom button to navigate to the Knowledge Center Bot, or an article in KC Bot, or assign the Guide navigation actions. Prior to this release, these configurations on custom buttons could be only performed using javascript functions in HTML.

For more information on Custom Buttons, refer to the Configure Custom Buttons article.

Integration

PX offers a variety of integration options, for the purposes of enhancing productivity (Slack or Zendesk), as well as for data integration (S3, Segment, Gainsight CS, etc.), and to connect your documentation sources with the PX knowledge center bot (Mindtouch, Zendesk, HelpDocs, Salesforce).

Integrate Gainsight PX with inSided 

Gainsight PX now offers an integration with inSided. This allows you to access community content (articles, ideas, questions, and discussions) in the Knowledge Center Bot. When PX is integrated with inSided, users can view, search, and upvote content available in inSided through the Knowledge Center Bot.

Customer communities host rich content. Gainsight PX has now made this content easily accessible by adding searchable articles (such as FAQs and best practices) via Knowledge Center Bot. In-app Knowledge Center Bots help you to deploy personalized content (such as onboarding or adoption checklists, key resources including FAQ or best practice articles) directly in your application. This enhancement helps your end-users connect with each other and provides them a space to respond and ask technical questions about your product.

Knowledge Center Bot

Knowledge Center Bot is an onboarding assistant that guides users in learning your product. The bot contains links to engagements and external URLs in order to effectively onboard new users, as well as educate existing users. Optionally, you can also integrate your knowledge base (eg. Zendesk or Mindtouch) content to display in the bot.

Integrate inSided with Knowledge Center Bot

Gainsight PX introduces the native integration of Knowledge Center Bot and inSided community platform. Now fetch ideas, questions, discussions, and articles from your inSided subscription and display them directly in the Knowledge Center Bot. For more information on inSided, refer to the Integrate Gainsight PX with inSided section.

Gainsight PX APIs

Gainsight PX API provides you with a programmatic (server-based) method to access the users, accounts, and events that have been captured on your Gainsight PX subscription.

Localization APIs for KC Bot and Articles

Gainsight PX now lets you translate Knowledge Center Bot and Article content using APIs. 

Import XLIFF API

Using the Import XLIFF APIs, you can import XLIFF content for translations of Engagements, Knowledge Center Bot, and Articles from your localization platform.

Endpoints:

Type Endpoint
Engagements v1/localization/import/engagements
Knowledge Center Bot v1/localization/import/kcbot

Knowledge Center Bot v1/localization/export/kcbot
Articles v1/localization/export/articles

For more information on how to work with import and export XLIFF APIs, refer to the Work with Import and Export XLIFF APIs article.

Monitor Gainsight PX in External Systems using APIs

Gainsight PX now supports the capability to monitor engagements, usage, and integrations using APIs.  Using Admin Monitoring APIs, all monitoring functionalities available in the Admin Console of PX can now be tracked in your individual alerting systems.

Example Business Use Case:

Consider an engagement that failed to trigger for a user due to collision with another engagement. You can set up high-frequency alerting systems to receive notifications using these monitoring APIs. Prior to this release, you had to manually monitor Admin Console to analyze if the engagement launch was successful.

The following APIs can be used to monitor Gainsight PX on your system:

API Endpoint
Engagement Monitoring /v1/admin/monitoring/engagement_errors
Engagement Errors /v1/admin/monitoring/engagement_error_details
Engagement Collisions /v1/admin/monitoring/engagement_collisions
Integration Monitoring /v1/admin/monitoring/integrations
Feature Monitoring /v1/admin/monitoring/adoption

For more information on how to use Admin Monitoring APIs, refer to the Gainsight PX REST API article.

Administration 

The administration section allows you to perform all the admin level configurations required to make Gainsight PX capabilities available to the end-user. From the Administration section, Admins can configure various settings for their instance, including managing users, adding products, defining user and account attributes, enabling application integrations, and more.

Validate Engagements for Checksum and HTML Sanitization

Gainsight PX now lets you validate active engagements for checksum and HTML errors in real time. This helps you identify and debug potential issues to troubleshoot errors even before the engagements are triggered for the user. Prior to this release, you could identify checksum and HTML errors only in the browser’s Network tab.

To validate, enter the Checksum CDN URL, the allowed domains for HTML sanitization check, and select the engagements to be analyzed. Gainsight PX runs the validation automatically and identifies the following types of errors:

  • Checksum
  • HTML sanitization
  • HTML allowed domains

For more information on how to debug engagements using Checksum, refer to the Validate In-App Engagements for Checksum and HTML Sanitization article.

Enhanced Engagement Monitoring 

The Engagement Monitoring feature of Admin Console is enhanced to identify and display a wider spectrum of error types. You can leverage the detailed analysis of failed engagements to effectively identify the root cause and debug them easily.

In addition to the existing missing mapped element errors, you can now find logs for the following errors in active engagements:

  • Checksum validations
  • Invalid HTML tags
  • HTML reference domains that not allowed

Store Cookies in Local Storage 

Gainsight PX now provides you with enhanced privacy and security configurations.  The installation process of PX now supports the capability to store the cookie data in the local storage. 

By default, Gainsight PX stores cookies in the browser. To change the default location to your local storage, set the localStorageCookie token to true in the Gainsight PX Tag.
