Enhancements

Relationships

  • Relationship CTAs - You can now add relationship CTAs via rules engine or manually in cockpit. Relationship CTAs are listed in Cockpit alongside regular (customer) CTAs.
  • Relationship Scorecards - You can now define one scorecard for each relationship type, which is visible on the Relationship 360 page. A scorecard is a weighted average of multiple measures. Currently the score of each individual measure can only be set manually.
  • You can now add a Cockpit widget on the Relationship 360 page
  • Other usability improvements while defining new relationship types.

Gainsight Vault

With Gainsight Vault, you can import Gainsight’s published best practices in your own instance, saving you time and reducing errors. Currently you can import surveys and playbooks.

For surveys, the import only includes properties and questions; not distribution, page branching, or call-to-actions. For playbooks, some attribute values (e.g. status or priority) may be customized in the your instance. The import flow will let you map these values.  

We plan to add the ability to import email templates, reports and certain rules in the near future.

Email dashboard to SFDC Users

You can now email a dashboard to internal SFDC users with the new Email Settings icon introduced in Layouts. In addition, you can schedule the email dashboard functionality.

For more information, refer to How to Email Dashboards.
