Gainsight App Overview

Gainsight App includes the following capabilities:

Dashboard

IMPORTANT:

  • The Dashboard is the Gainsight Mobile app landing tab. Users can see the Dashboard tab only if Horizon Analytics is enabled in your org.

A Dashboard is a reporting tool that powers your business intelligence. For users who are on the move or who do not have access to a computer or laptop all the time, the Gainsight Mobile app provides ease of access to the Dashboards to all the mobile app users.

Different dashboards can be configured for different users and purposes. Access to Dashboards is authorized by the admin, who assigns the necessary permissions so that users can access the Dashboards on their mobile devices and tablets. Some example business use cases are given below.

Example Business Use Cases:

  • CSMs want to access their dashboards (configured by my admins) anywhere.
  • CSMs want to get insights into the renewal dashboard from their phone or tablet.

Dashboard Tab

The Dashboard tab displays the dashboard selected by the user in the web application. However, users can switch between the dashboards and apply rules on the global filters that are already set at the web application level.

The following are the options available in the Dashboard tab:

  • Select Dashboard
  • Dashboard Filters
  • Refresh Dashboard
  • Chats and Options

Gainsight NXT Edition Users: 

  • For more information on how admins can assign dashboards to users, refer to the Dashboard Permissions article.
  • For detailed information on the Mobile Dashboards, refer to the Mobile Dashboards article.

Gainsight Salesforce Edition Users: 

  • For more information on how admins can assign dashboards to users, refer to the Dashboard Permissions article.
  • For detailed information on the Mobile Dashboards, refer to the Mobile Dashboards article.

Timeline

Timeline offers a global view of all the activities for all Companies and Relationships in a centralized area. You can also view your activities in Drafts.

Note: If the Horizon Analytics dashboard is not enabled in your org, you will land on the Timeline tab.

You can view the inline tasks (in the activities) created from the web app, and can also create new tasks from Mobile. For more information on how to create inline tasks from Mobile, refer to the Add and Assign Inline Tasks section.

From the Timeline tab, you can:

  • Log an Activity, by tapping +, selecting the required Activity Type, and tap Log after you complete the Timeline entry.
  • If you want to save a Timeline entry to Drafts, tap Close (X) on the top left of the screen and you can see the following options.
    • Save as Draft
    • Discard Changes
    • Cancel
      Note: A user can save a maximum of 50 Timeline Drafts.
  • Edit/Delete an Activity if you are the owner of the activity. In the activity detail view, you can access the pencil and trash/delete icon in the top right corner.
  • Tap on an activity to view the Details and Comments of an activity in their respective tabs.

  • In an activity, users can tap the Company or Relationship name and navigate to the respective 360 page. 

  • Use the Search and Filter options in the top right corner, to narrow down the list of activities displayed.
    IMPORTANT:

    • You can search and filter the records by Company/Relationship Name, Relationship Type, Activity Name, Activity Type, and Author.
    • Company and Relationship search configuration from the web app is automatically applied to Timeline. For example, if you've configured search to allow finding a Company by its CSM or a custom unique identifier, the same option will extend to Timeline in mobile.

Known Limitations:

  • In the Timeline search, you can see only the top 20 search results.
  • In the SFDC edition, search results for Company and Relationship would appear only after syncing with MDA.
  • At times, @mention capability is not working as expected in Activity-Notes. For example: 
    • When you mention a user and try deleting, the delete function won't work as expected.
    • When you type @ and mention a user, the keypad is gets collapsed.
  • Currently, for all the activities created from Scorecard, the Score component doesn't show up in Mobile Timeline.

Timeline Comments

With Timeline Comments in mobile, you can actively participate in conversations on important updates and events, on the go! 

You can receive real-time push notifications, if you are @mentioned in one of the comments, or if someone adds a comment to an activity you have posted. You will always be aware of what’s going on, and can help support customers and colleagues without delay.

Note: All rich-text formatting is honored in the comments.

Mentioned in an activity

Enabling this toggle will get you the notifications initiated from web/mobile, whenever you are mentioned in an Activity (Notes), irrespective of whether you’re following a customer or not.

Meeting insights and notes

By default, you can see that the Meeting insights and notes toggle is enabled, after syncing your calendar events with Gainsight Mobile App. The enabled status of the Meeting insights and notes indicates that you will receive notifications for all your external events/meetings (customer meetings), 10 minutes before. 

For more information on the Calendar connection, refer to the Calendar connection section.

Settings

Push Notifications

Tapping Push Notifications will allow you to enable/disable the following the toggles:

  1. Meeting insights and notes
  2. Mentioned in an activity

Calendar Connection

As an executive of a company, you may be involved in various meetings with your customers every day. Using Calendar connection, before meeting your customer, you can get some meaningful and proactive insights, that help in quickly understanding the current state of the customer before-hand.

You can sync your Google/Outlook calendar events to Gainsight Mobile App and can get notifications for all your events (10 minutes before) pre-meeting. Tapping the notification displays 360° Summary of Customer and a pre-filled Timeline Meeting draft for a quick note.

Calendar Connection looks for the attendee's email addresses and finds a matching Company–Person record. External attendees will receive notifications, only if the person record is added to the Company-Person object.

Important

  • Any changes to an event such as StartDate, EndDate, Subject are honored (addition or deletion of internal or external attendees, etc.), 15 min before the meeting.
  • Calendar connection can send pre-meeting notifications to the organizers and all internal attendees (mobile users) of a meeting/event, except for the ones who have declined it.
  • Calendar connection doesn't send notifications to the internal attendees whose email addresses are duplicating in the GS User object.

Know Limitations:

  • An event with multiple external attendees belonging to different companies is not supported, and hence not notified.
  • Delay in notifications can be expected considering Google/Outlook not sending real-time notifications on time.
  • External attendees added to the meeting will not receive notifications, if the records are not available in Company–Person object.
  • External attendees added to the meeting that has duplicate records in Company–Person object will not receive notifications

To enable Calendar Connection:

  1. Tap Calendar connection.
  2. Select the calendar you want to sync with, either Google or Office 365/Outlook.
  3. Tap Connect.
  4. Enter your email address.
  5. Tap Next.

If you have encountered some issues with the calendar sync, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

If you have enabled SAML/Google Authentication in your org, you will be navigated to the Gainsight Login page of SAML/Google Authentication. After your successful sign in, tap Allow and you will see the meetings/events sync will begin.

SAML login_1.gif

After a successful sync, you start receiving notifications for all your events (10 minutes before) pre-meeting. Tapping the notification displays 360° Summary of the Customer you are going to meet and a pre-filled Timeline Meeting draft for you to make some quick notes.

Tapping Post to Timeline will log this event to Timeline, under the Meeting category. And, you will no longer see this event in the notifications tab.  

Troubleshooting

If you couldn't sync your calendar events or might have encountered an issue with the calendar connection, you will see a red dot on the Settings icon, as shown in the following image. To resolve this issue, you need to perform actions like Try again or Reauthorize. After performing the necessary actions, it may take some time for the new changes to reflect (success or failure).

Troubleshooting.jpeg

Try again: performs the re-sync for calendar events, in case of any failure. Try Again can be used only once.

Note: If Try again fails, it means something might have gone wrong and we recommend you contact Gainsight Support.

Try Again.png

Reauthorize: helps Gainsight request calendar access again for users whose account has been revoked for some external reasons.

Reauthorize.png

Note: If Try again fails, it means something might have gone wrong and we recommend you contact Gainsight Support.
