Enhancements

SAML Authentication

  1. Gainsight PX now supports SAML login: Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) Authentication allows users to login to Gainsight PX via Identity Providers (IdP), such as Okta, Autho, GSuite, etc. Once Gainsight PX is configured to authenticate via SAML, users who want to access Gainsight PX will no longer be prompted to enter a username or password. Instead, an exchange between Gainsight PX and the configured IdP occurs that grants Gainsight PX access to the users.

  2. Support team will process your request. After receiving a confirmation email, you can start assigning people to the application.

Element Tracking

  1. Ability to track elements to display clickstream for users: Enabling tracking elements helps users with tracking and measuring value actions and also trigger more accurate guides. Elements such as input text fields, images, submit buttons so these can be mapped into features. The following new elements can now be tracked along with the existing trackable elements (pageview, clicks, links).

    Note: Input text content cannot be tracked - for privacy reasons.
  • <button> collect (the text of the button) and name
  • <img> collect src and alt
  • <select> collect type and selected index
  • <textarea> collect name
  • <input> collect name
  • data attribute names

Issues Addressed (Fixes)

This section contains a list of customers' escalations which have been addressed and resolved in between August 14 and September 9.

Engagements

[Date: 09/02/2019; Patch: 2.24.1]

  • Previously, when you created a Dialog engagement and used In-App Engagement rule to set the Audience, set the Event to view and saved it, the rule was saved. Once you visited another page and came back here, the saved "View" of the event is shown as ‘Value’ which means it was not saved. Issue is shown in the following image.

This issue is now resolved and rule functions correctly as expected.

[Date: 08/29/2019; Patch: 2.24.1]

  • Dialog Position not Fixed for “Bar” View Type: Previously, when you set the View Type of a Dialog Engagement to Bar and set the Position to Bottom, the Dialog appeared at the bottom of the browser as expected. However, when you scrolled up or down, the Dialog engagement also moved. This issue is now resolved and Dialog bar does not move when you scroll in your browser.

[Date: 08/29/2019; Patch: 2.23.1]

  • Position of Guide Tooltip was Inconsistent: Previously, when you created the Guide Engagement and added tooltips in your guide, the position of the tooltip was changing abruptly on the application. This issue is now resolved and the position of the tooltip in Guide now remains intact.

[Date: 08/29/2019; Patch: 2.18.0]

  • Unable to Track Drop down list items as Tag UI Element Features: Previously you could not track drop-down list elements as “Tag UI element” features even though the feature was mapped.

  • Path Analyzer Failed to Display Data: Previously when you used the Path Analyzer to view the path traversed by a user to access a Feature, Path Analyzer displayed a “No Data to display” message, even when data existed. This issue is now resolved and Path Analyzer displays the accurate path traversed for all the features.   

[Date: 08/28/2019]

  • One of our customers was not receiving feedback in the email. The list of feedback was available in Analytics > Audience > Feedback. This issue is now resolved.
