Configure 360 Person Section

Overview

This article explains how admins can configure the Person Section in C360/R360 layouts. This configuration includes adding fields to the list and detail view configuration of the Person section and adding fields that will be available for CSMs while adding a person in the C360/R360 Person section. You can add a new Person section from either Global or Local sections to the C360/R360 layouts from the C360/R360 Layouts configuration page. The Person section in the C360/R360 page displays the list of people associated with the specific company or relationship, as well as their personal and association details, fetched from the Gainsight Person Model. For more information on this model, refer to the Gainsight Person Model article.

Person Section in C360

Person section in C360 can be used to view the list of people associated with a company based on data from the Gainsight Person Model. You can add a new section called ‘Person’ to C360 from Administration > C360 Layouts page. In the Person section, you can view records of people that you interact with while working with the Customer. Person records include name, phone, email, social media profiles, company, etc. The Person section is designed to display not only contacts at the Account but potentially anyone involved in their implementation, such as an outside consultant. You can view the list of persons, search by name or email, and filter based on the fields in the Company Person/Person object. To load data to Company Person or Relationship Person, use the Action Type Load to Company/Relationship Person in Rules Engine

Configure Person Search Settings

Admins can configure custom search settings for the Person Search:

  1. Navigate to Administration > Person > SEARCH CONFIGURATION. You will see the default fields: Person::Email and Person::Name in the Selected Fields section.
  2. Drag and drop the required fields from Available Fields to the Selected Fields.

The search fields configured above can be used to find an existing person in the Gainsight system while adding a new person from the C360 > + PERSON > Add Person section.

IMPORTANT NOTE: People Maps is available as an add-on to the Gainsight CS subscription. Please contact your account manager for pricing information.

Admins can add a maximum of four fields from the Person and Company Person objects to the Person CHART VIEW. By default, Name and Email fields are available on the CHART VIEW tab. You can remove the Email field, if required. However, you cannot remove the Name field. Apart from the Name field, you can add a maximum of three additional fields to the CHART VIEW tab. Admins should add any one or both of the Additional Attributes: NPS® Score and Last Engagement Date to the Person Chart View. At least one of the additional attributes must be added to the chart view. Once chart view is configured, Person Card Preview can be seen next to the selected fields.

IMPORTANT: When the parent record is deleted, reference of this parent record in the child record is also deleted.

To add fields to the Chart view:

  1. Navigate to Administration > C360 Layouts.
  2. Click the Edit icon for the required layout.
    Note: If you cannot find the Person section in the right pane, drag and drop it from the left pane.

Configure Layout Settings for People Maps

Admins can configure the layout for the People Map as Horizontal or Vertical view by default. The map is displayed to the CSMs or other users in this default layout. CSMs or other users can switch between the view layouts of the map as required. The vertical layout is more suitable for large organizations where the person hierarchy is wider, to avoid horizontal scroll in the map while the horizontal layout is suitable for smaller organizations where the map has fewer hierarchy levels. 

Note: Each time CSM reloads or navigates back to the C360 page, the map displays in the default view set by admin.

To configure layout for the People Map:

  1. Navigate to Administration > 360 Layouts.
  2. Click the C360 LAYOUTS tab.
  3. Click the three-vertical dot icon for the required layout and then select Edit.
    Note: If you do not find the Person section under the Selected sections, drag and drop it from the Available sections.
  4. Click the Configure icon for the Person section.
  5. In the Configure Section window, click on the CHART VIEW tab.
  6. In the Layout Settings section, select the layout you wish to apply to the maps.
  7. Click SAVE.
