Release Notes: Version 4.10 August 2014

Version 4.10 release of Gainsight includes:

  • Scorecard History Tracking and Reporting
  • Reports 2.0 (Matrix Data Analyzer Reporting)
  • (New) Service Cloud Widget
  • Improved Opportunity Widget
  • Improvements to the Rules Engine
  • Search by Instance
  • Cockpit (Beta)

Scorecard History

Version 4.10 includes the ability to take a snapshot every week or month (based on the date granularity in usage configuration) and store it in Usage Data.  Once this snapshot is available, we can report on this data under Engagement and a new section within Scorecard 360 view.

Enable Loading Scorecard Snapshot to Usage Data

Scorecard data is not loaded into Usage Data by default.  This can be enabled by clicking on the checkbox next to "Load Snapshot to Engagement every week".

Once this is enabled, a snapshot will be taken just before the end of every week (based on week definition in Usage Configuration) or every month based on the date granularity. The Snapshot is captured into the Usage Data object from that point forward.

The existing functionality of History tracking which would track a score change event once ever 12/24/36/48 hours will continue to be an option.

Creating, Mapping and Editing Scorecard Measures

Once "Load to Snapshot" is enabled, we will automatically create an engagement measure for overall health score and each scorecard measure.  These engagement measures can be viewed under "Scorecard Columns" in Usage Configuration.

For each scorecard measure and for overall health score, a numeric field will be created on the UsageData object.  The scorecard snapshot will be stored in these fields at the Account Level.

Engagement rules will not be triggers when the scorecard snapshot is loaded into Usage Data.

Mapping Measures

After the Load to Snapshot is enabled, a pop up appears that indicates the progress of the measure creation, field creation and mapping process.

This popup should not be closed while this is in progress.  We will automatically map the new fields to the engagement measure.  System Name and Color will be determined dynamically.

  1. For Scorecard Measure, the name of the fields will be SC__<IDofScorecardMeasure>__c
  2. For Overall Health Score, the name of the field will be SC__OverallHealthScore__c
  3. Description for fields include the scorecard name

Editing Measures

Scorecard measures added to Engagement will not be editable from the Engagement tab.  Whenever a scorecard measure is edited, the corresponding measure name and field descriptions will be udpated.

Deleting Measures

Whenever a scorecard measure is deleted, we will also delete the corresponding usage data measure and all the historical data will be lost.

Scorecard Reporting in C360

Select the history view from the top right corner of the section to view the history.

The top area of the section includes the overall health score, overall health score trend and comments.  In the Historical View mode, the contents below the top section will be changed to show the trend of overall heal score and measures as a density graph.

Ability to query from Matrix Data Platform

Custom rules can now read data from Matrix Data Platform on which additional actions can be performed.  For example you could query the daily user level data available in Matrix Data Platform and create actions on it.  

To query from the Matrix data platform, select 'Matrix Data'.  If you would want to query from a native SFDC object, click on native data.

While querying on Matrix Data only the collection that have mapping to SFDC account are visible.  The AccountID field is required to be in the show area before you set up actions.

Rules Engine Execution Logs and Email Notification

Rules Engine Execution Logs and Email Notification

Post v4.10 you will be able to view the most recent executions tatus of rule and know if it succeeded or not.  It will also display the details.  An email is also sent with a detail report of the execution results.  Along with this we can now also view when the rule is next scheduled to run.  The Next Run Date time value is available only for rules that have an active schedule.  

Execution Logs

Execution Logs

To view Execution Logs in more detail, click on a rule to open up the details view and scroll to 'Execution History'.  Up to 20 executions are listed in this history.  The most recent execution is expanded by default.  To view more detail logs of the execution, click on 'View Logs' corresponding to that execution.

Testing Custom Rules and Email Notification

Testing Custom Rules and Email Notification

Email Notification

Email Notification

After a test run or a normal run, an email notification is sent with a .xlsx file.  This file will contain one summary sheet with the details of the rule criteria and execution summary details.  One sheet contains Rule Results which is a list of records that the query would run.  It is followed by additional tabs for each action in the rule.

The results for the test run are only an indication of the record that the rule will try to upsert.  There might be an error during the actual run because of data issues.

An example of one of the emails is depicted above.

Search By Instance

Search By Instance

Post v4.10 when an org is set to track usage by instance, we can now search for an Instance directly from Gainsight Home or the C360 page.  

Cockpit (Beta)

Cockpit (BETA)

Cockpit is a new feature which will, replace the existing Alerts and Events functionality (under the Actions tab). We wanted to create a home for action-oriented CSM teams, so that they are able to more effectively address all current and potential issues and opportunities in their customer base, and as a result, are able to scale their operations easily.

Cockpit is now available for users by default.
