Overview of Sightline Vault

Gainsight NXT

Overview

Gainsight’s Sightline Vault provides access to pre-configured solutions built by Gainsight and the broader Gainsight community that help you effectively utilize Gainsight features and incorporate best practices into your Gainsight instance with the click of a button. This not only allows you to see value faster, but significantly reduces the amount of time and effort your team spends setting up/configuring Gainsight.

A simple algorithm automatically configures a predefined set of assets (such as Reports, Rules or Scorecards) which your admin can select and deploy in a matter of minutes. You can easily update or adjust this configuration after the asset is deployed, if needed.

Similar to the way each product feature at Gainsight is enhanced incrementally & interactively, Gainsight’s product team will continue to improve the user experience. New solutions will be added on a regular basis to the Gainsight Vault by: Gainsight and Gainsight Community (Gainsight Customer and Partners).

The Sightline Vault page makes finding and uploading solutions easier with its categorization of solutions and filters.
