This article explains how to export a report in different formats, the export options, and the limitations on export options in Reporting.

​Overview

Customer Success Managers (CSMs) can download a report as an Image and/or an Excel, and share it with any user, based on their business needs. CSMs can also share a dashboard as a link or as a PPT through email with internal user(s) from the Dashboards tab.

Example Business Use Cases:

  • A CSM want to share the share the Monthly Renewals dashboard with the CRO of the company.
  • CSM Manager can generate a report and see how many CTAs each of his CSMs are working on.

Email/Export Dashboard to Gainsight Users

Share a dashboard as a link or PPT via email with a user from the Dashboards page. The dashboards must be configured for sharing by the admin. The configured dashboard can then be shared through email as a link or PPT, with optional security settings. To share the dashboard, the recipient must be added as a Gainsight user into the Gainsight User object.

Once the export is completed, as a logged-in user, you will receive an email with the PowerPoint attached. The exported dashboard can be viewed in Microsoft PowerPoint. However, Google Slides and Apple Keynote files may work, but something in the PPT might break.

Notes:

  • If the current user has configured report visualization types or local filters, all these settings along with Global Filters are respected in the PPT version of the dashboard. 

  • If the dashboard contains tabular reports, approximately 10 rows of data is displayed per slide for that report.
