Adding Comments to CTAs and Tasks

When adding or editing a CTA the comment box will expand as you type to make it easier to edit lengthy comments. When editing a Task, the description box will expand.

Updates to Group By

The “New and Due” group has been replaced with 2 new groups:

Created Date (New)

1. Created Date (New)

You will see 3 groups when choosing this option (1) Today (2) Last 7 days and (3) Older than 7 days

Due Date (Due)

2. Due Date (Due)

You will see 4 groups when choosing this option (1) Overdue (2) Today (3) Next 7 days and (4) Upcoming.

In each Due Date group you will see the CTAs that have tasks due in that period. For example, a CTA that is due 30 days from now but has a task that is already overdue will show up in this group.

Rules Engine

The following enhancements have been made to the rules engine:

New Action: Load to Milestone

You might use Load to Milestone action to :

  1. Create a milestone when a case is created.
  2. Create a milestone when a usage has crossed a threshold
  3. Create a milestone when the unique number of users logged in is = number of license
  4. Create a milestone when a customer is moved to a particular stage

59a06b56-5462-46a1-9f9e-b89ada898636_display.png

In this example we are loading to milestone when the customer stage is launched. In order to ensure only one milestone is created a new checkbox field called Launched has been created and Load to Milestone will only happen when the checkbox is unchecked. This rule will also check that box.

To use this action you will select the source object and setup the condition for the rule run.

085bf260-57d3-4fbb-905f-aef884578069_display.png

In Setup Action screen pick the Action “Load to Milestone” and fill out the following fields:

  • Date Constant or Show Field. In this we picked Constant = Rule Date so that the date of the milestone will be the date the rule runs.
  • Milestone
  • Comments (optional)

New Action: Load to Features

You might use Load to Features action when:

  1. Opportunity has boolean fields with what features are enabled or not.
  2. Usage data, if it contains a measure or measure group with value greater than 0, then it means that feature is used and can be added to features table.

ae0fecfa-4438-48a5-94b9-338a900ce78d_display.png

In this example, the feature is selected and the feature is licensed and enabled so that it will appear in C360 page. You can add additional comments optionally. The feature will only get added to customers when the opportunity field Feature_mobile is checked.

Comparison of Fields in Action Criteria

Comparison of Fields in Action Criteria

You might use Load to Features action to create a CTA or Milestone when distinct users > licenses. To use this action you will add the comparison in the criteria.

Option to pick a user lookup field for Gainsight Email Action in From & Reply-to fields

Use this feature when you want an email from and/or reply to email address to be pulled from a lookup field such as Account Owner or CSM. To setup follow these steps:

Step 1

Step 1:

In the source fields, if there is a user lookup field with a name CSM then you would find two other fields CSM Name and CSM Email. Select these two fields into the Show area in Rule setup screen.

Step 2

Step 2:

In the Action screen, add Send Email action you would see the Name and Email selected in the respective dropdowns.

Search in Rules Engine Listing

Search in Rules Engine Listing

A search box has been added to the Rules Engine listing page to make it easier to filter through your list of rules.

Subtract N Days from Rule Date

Subtract N Days from Rule Date

Prior to this release, in order to have a rule look into the past by date you would input a negative number into the filter. Now there is a new option called Subtract N Days from Rule Date. This option might be used when trying to create a CTA to check in with a customer 90 days post opportunity close date.

Other Enhancements

Export Scorecard Standard/Mass Edit View

Export Scorecard Standard/Mass Edit View

You will see an option, beside filter, to export a scorecard standard/mass edit view as a csv file. The exported data will not honor inline filters applied but will honor all the advanced filters applied using the filter icon.

Sticky Wrap Lines in C360 Related Lists

Sticky Wrap Lines in C360 Related Lists

The wrap lines checkbox in a 360 view related list section is now sticky across sessions which means you do not not have to keep clicking on wrap lines every time you visit the related list section.

Improvements to Managed Package Permission Sets

The Gainsight pre-packaged permission sets  had a limitation where we were unable to give permission to any Gainsight objects that had a master details relation with Account. In this release we have introduced additional process that creates a Permission set post installation which will include permissions to all objects that we could not include as part of the packaged permissions sets.

As part of the upgrade process this permission set will be applied to all users how have at least read access to Account object and a Gainsight license.

Salesforce Components Introduced in 4.23

Gainsight View only, Gainsight Admin, Gainsight Standard permission sets will be updated appropriately to have additional permission on these components.
