Configure Dashboard for Sharing

Overview

This article explains how admins can configure a dashboard for sharing. CSMs can share a dashboard as a link via email with a user from the Gainsight Home tab. For example, a CSM could share the Monthly Renewals dashboard with the CRO of the company, which is delivered as a link via email. To enable CSMs to share a dashboard, the dashboard must first be configured for sharing by the admin. The configured dashboard can then be shared through email as a link, with optional security settings. In order to receive the dashboard as a link, the recipient must be added as a GS user into the GS User object (in MDA). For details on how to add GS users, refer to Gainsight User Object. Dashboards can only be shared with licensed Gainsight users (users with Full or Viewer License). You can sync user records from SFDC to Gainsight object User by enabling Salesforce Connector. For more information, refer Salesforce Connector.

Note: CSMs can see the dashboards that are assigned by admins, using Dashboard Permissions.

Limitation

  • You cannot share a dashboard containing UI Views or Scorecard 1.0 reports.
