Overview

Gainsight Sharing gives admins the ability to use customer insight to align the stakeholders of your customer, partner or vendor on a single source of truth. This enables everyone involved in a company to coordinate and prioritize their actions around a unified understanding of health. Share 360 enables end-users to easily access information (read only mode) outside of Gainsight through a web page.

With the Share 360 feature, Admins can create, configure, manage, and delete Share 360 layouts. Admins can use the feature to help Customer Success Managers (CSMs)/Account Managers (AMs) to share customer information/360 view (in read-only mode) with Gainsight users and Person(s) records. This feature provides stakeholders with a quick snapshot of the customer’s key information in preparation for meetings with the customer. This is configurable by Admins and may contain a Summary, Company Attributes, Related List reports, Relationships, Scorecards, Person, and Success Plan sections.

The configured information can then be shared through an email as a link, with optional security settings with the recipient’ ID. The recipient can to be added into either the Gainsight User or Person object.

This article explains how to configure, share, and manage the Share 360 view, which is composed of the following seven standard sections:

  • Summary
  • Attributes
  • Related List (Reports)
  • Relationships
  • Scorecards
  • Success Plan
  • Person

The following image shows the High-Level Workflow for Shared 360 layouts. To open a 360 layout, navigate to Administration > 360 Layouts > click the edit icon of the layout you want to open.

Limitations

  • A maximum of ten layouts can be created for the C360, and five for each Relationship type.
  • Users can choose to add an optional One Time Password (OTP)  that can be generated for a maximum of five times per link and the end-user can re-try it three times. There is also an option to set up an expiration date.
  • Person section cannot be added to the Shared R360 Layouts.

Note: C360/R360 layouts can be shared with internal Gainsight Users or Person(s). If CSMs/AMs select Users option from the Send to drop-down list in the Email Layout dialog box, records from the User object are available to select in the Choose Users field. Similarly, if the Contacts option is selected, records from the Person object are available to select in the Choose Contacts field.

Notes:

  • If a layout is not shared with an end-user, admins can delete it directly. If a layout is already shared with end-users, admins should revoke the access to the end-users first and then delete the layout. Refer to Manage Layout for more information on revoking access.
  • When a layout (link) is shared for R360 with the end-users and the Relationship is deleted, the page does not display any data when the end-users access the share 360 page and shows an error message.
