Overview of Sightline Vault
This article introduces Gainsight’s Sightline Vault feature. For a quick preview of Sightline Vault, watch this video.
Overview
Gainsight’s Sightline Vault provides access to pre-configured solutions built by Gainsight and the broader Gainsight community that help you effectively utilize Gainsight features and incorporate best practices into your Gainsight instance with the click of a button. This not only allows you to see value faster, but significantly reduces the amount of time and effort your team spends setting up/configuring Gainsight.
A simple algorithm automatically configures a predefined set of assets – such as Reports, Rules or Scorecards – which your admin can select and deploy in a matter of minutes. You can easily update or adjust this configuration after the asset is deployed, if needed.
Similar to the way each product feature at Gainsight is enhanced incrementally & iteratively, Gainsight’s product team will continue to improve the user experience. New Solutions will be added on a regular basis to the Gainsight Vault by: Gainsight and Gainsight Community (Gainsight Customer and Partners).
