View Layout Options
In Gainsight, contacts that are also known as person records, can exist independently or be associated with a company and/or a relationship. This association allows for the differentiation of data facets based on the entity type, either as an individual contact, a contact associated with a company, or a contact linked to a specific relationship. P360 provides a global switcher in the layout for each facet of person data, such as person, Company Person, and Relationship Person. CSMs can use the global Context Switcher dropdown menu to select different layout options. This switcher streamlines access to specific data, making it easier for users to obtain relevant information with each option.
Note: You will be navigated to the P360 page of any person/contact when you click on the person name from other product areas.
