Global Settings for Surveys
Gainsight NXT
This article explains to admins how the NPS® and CSAT are calculated within Gainsight.
Overview
The Global Settings for Surveys helps admins to control how NPS® and CSAT attributes are calculated/viewed across the application. Admins have the flexibility to:
- Choose the desired surveys.
- Switch between Average and True NPS®.
- Define the default time period on which CX metrics are reported.
- Carry over an older value when the latest NPS or CSAT is not available.
- Roll relationship surveys to company level CX metrics.
IMPORTANT: You will notice a change in the NPS® and CSAT values for each Company in Gainsight as we are changing the way NPS®/CSAT is calculated to provide more flexibility.
Configure Survey Settings
To configure NPS® and CSAT settings:
- Navigate to Administration > Customer Experience > Surveys.
- In the Surveys Settings page, you can select:
- Click Save.
NPS® Settings
Configure the following options to update the scores in the Company object and Gainsight Home:
Choose NPS® Calculation
By default, the NPS® score in the Survey section of the C360/R360 page displays the calculated average score of all responses to that survey. Any change to this configuration displays the ‘True’ NPS® score, which is not the average of response scores, in the C360/R360 page for each survey displayed in the 360 Surveys section.
You can configure and decide the view of NPS® using the following options:
- True NPS®
- Average NPS®
For more information about how True NPS® is calculated, refer to the Calculation of True NPS on Survey Responses article.
