Configure And Assign Multiple Layouts in Gainsight Home

Gainsight NXT

Overview

The Gainsight Home feature allows admins to customize multiple layouts with different sets of widgets and assign them to All Users or Specific User & user Groups. Admins have the ability to create multiple Gainsight Home layouts and assign them to different users/user groups. 

Business Use Case 1: In a company there might be CSM’s from more than one Business Unit or CSM’s from multiple teams who use Gainsight. Each team might be using Gainsight slightly differently (example: High touch vs low touch) and might need a different starting point in Gainsight. Multiple layouts in Gainsight Home means admins can create these tailored starting points for each individual team so that the landing page always contains relevant information.

Business Use Case 2: There are several different types of personas using Gainsight Home, such as CSM and CS Execs, and their requirements may differ from one another. It is possible that the CSM requires only the latest information on Timeline or 360, whereas the CS Execs require high-level, organized, and presentable information. With multiple layouts available on the Gainsight Home landing page, users can select the layout they want and find pertinent information quickly.

Key Benefits: 

• Gainsight Home’s landing page contains multiple layouts
• Admins can assign layouts to one or more users or user groups
• Admins can identify the list of layouts, their ranks, and view the list of users/user groups who have the layouts assigned through Manage Assignments

Create and Configure Layouts

CSM's always see only one Home page. Admins see card views only till they configure a custom home, publish, and assign them from Administration > Gainsight Home. The following configuration is available to get started. 

• Custom: Admins configure Gainsight Home with custom widgets and reports. You have full control to customize the home page for your CSMs based on your business workflow.

To create and assign multiple layouts for different users or user groups to access from Gainsight Home page:

1. Navigate to Administration > Gainsight home > Configuration > Home. 
2. On the Custom card, click Customize Home. The Gainsight Home Builder page appears.
