Gainsight oAuth flow

I am trying to setup the oAuth flow, by following what is described in the following documentation:https://support.gainsight.com/Gainsight_NXT/01Onboarding_and_Implementation/Onboarding_for_Gainsight_NXT/Login_and_Permissions/OAuth_for_Gainsight_APIs#Create_Application But the problem that I encountered is that there is no OAuth Applications tab available, when navigation to: /v1/ui/usermanagement#/authentication.So the question is how do I create an oAuth app for which I could acquire the client id and client secret?

How can Gainsight improve the Global search

We are interested in your feedback We are currently working on improving the Gainsight Global Search, we want to improve the user experience around global search. A couple of the things we are already considering includeAdministration - Supporting filters in the search configuration. These filters help admins restrict in-active and non-relevant records from appearing in search results. (here) Recent searches - Showing the recent searches to users. (here)Few inputs that would help me here areWhat are the top 2 challenges you face with global search today ? What can we improve to make it easier for you to find the desired Company/Relationship record ? What other entities do you want to search using Global search ?Also any other thoughts or ideas that you may have to improve the Global search would be super helpful.Thank you all for your wonderful ideas.Gopal

Cannot Edit Customer Goals

When I try to edit existing Customer Goals I do not have an option to save and I receive an “error” message on the Company field. In order for me to make a change I have to delete and re-add a new goal. This seems like a bug with the Company field. Can this be fixed so existing goals can be edited?

Customer Goals - Road Blocks to Switching from Success Plans

Want to start a thread on the road blocks of standing up customer goals in scalable way. Many of these were discussed in Beta but not updated in the GA release. Would like to know if anyone else is experiencing difficulties while trying to put together a POC for their leadership team Limited to using APIs for updates and creations via rules engine. IE this means you need to have an admin that is comfortable enough with APIs to help your team maintain the Customer Goals. Would be better to have a rule action Unable to limit display field editability Cannot associate to a relationship from the C360 (like you can with other functions like Success Plans). Makes CSMs have multiple paths to create the same thing Unable to require fields at “close” (see point below about “closed” identification”. Additionally, you can only require fields at the data management level which means if you add a field after records are created you cannot require that field. So flexibility to alter your layout is l

Person Id field in Data Designer

I am trying to outline an Average of Session Count YTD with the data that has come into CS from PX side. When I use the report builder to outline Session Count by Month, I am able to do that and also add filters for Person Id where I exclude anything that contains specific email type such as gmail (As we get emails in Person Id field from PX). But in report builder I am not able to calculate Average Session Count by Year to Date. Since the formula field dosent allows me to sum the Count of Sessions and divide it by months for current year.I then went into Data Designer and when I am trying to outline the object and put filter on Person Id, it dosen’t provides ‘Does not contain’ option and rather it only allows one specific value to be entered.Can the Person Id field be made to work like it does in Report Builder when used in filters. Such that it allows ‘Does not Contain’ as a option to exclude certain elements. Can the formula field in Report Builder be made more enhanced where the ag

Link to the 360 Page via the SFDC Account Page in Lightning

We currently a formula to direct our users from the Salesforce page to the 360 page.  When we upgraded to Lightning, the formula doesn’t quite work as well as it used to.  We had originally based this information off an old post with the following formula offered:  HYPERLINK("https://surveymonkey--jbcxm.na1.visual.force.com/apex/customersuccess360?cid="; & CASESAFEID(JBCXM__Account__c), "c360", "_blank")My primary use case is for use within Salesforce reports (like upcoming renewals) or emails where I want to give quick access to the 360 page. The function should work on the Account object as well if you need it there, just change the API reference to use the current account ID. Does anyone know the base information we would need for Lightning? Thanks in advance!!

Post to Timeline Bug in Customer Goals --> CTA

I am running into what I think is a bug in the C360 layout beta. When I navigate to Customer Goals → CTA → Timeline I bump into a blank panel rather than the ability to post notes to timeline for the associated CTA. Please see screenshot below. Is anyone else running into this?

No Partial success status for tasks in Data designer

Hi Team,Currently we are observing in Data designer that when running a Data designer and if some of the records of a task have failed , the status of a task in execution logs are showing up as SUCCESS but it should in fact be Partial Success as some of the records have failed.It seems partial success status for a particular task is not implemented in Data designer execution logs yet and this could be an enhancement for future, Thank You!@sandeep_dugar @rakesh

Release Enhancements to Success Snapshot

Is anyone else having challenges with the recent release of enhancements to the success snapshot feature? My biggest issue is if I add a table report to a snapshot slide, I used to be able to easily adjust the table column widths.Now, it’s a bit more difficult:It’s hard to see the boundaries between headers After I save the custom column widths in the table report and I run a test, it doesn’t keep the custom column widths  Updates I make to the report shown on a snapshot slide are not always show in the edit-template screen.

Customer Goals - Create via Rules Engine?

We plan to use Customer Goals in 2023.  We have a number of ‘existing’ records that we’d like to recreate en masse as new Goals once we enable the feature. Is it possible to create a Goal record via Rules Engine?  Or is the only option to have reps manually create the goal, via Goal Library or via manual entry? Thx.JJ

Here are some thoughts on Customer Goals & Success Plans!

Difference between Customer Goals & Success PlansComparison of Customer Goals & Success PlansThere are two distinct things: What are a customer's goals and what are we going to do about them?How Customer Goals Came to the Picture:    The way we had success plans set up in the past (with an 'objective cta') we had linked the two of these.   If it so happens that a goal would map to a single CTA and the duration of the goal equals the duration of the CTA and the tracking of the success of the goal is the same as the tracking of the progress on the CTA, then it all works.   But in general, one or more of those things is likely not to be true.   Independent Customer Goals :  By separating customer goals into their own concept, we acknowledge that a goal exists even separate from a plan to help achieve it, and that a goal may be accomplished even if the actions are not completed. Conversely, all of the steps assigned may be completed without the goal being achieved, and a goal

New Sightline Vault Solution “Executive Business Review” that will enable you to adopt a uniform process for conducting Executive Business Reviews.

We’ve launched a new solution in Sightline Vault that will enable your organization to conduct a well-defined Executive Business Review  and ensure that your team communicates uniformly about value delivered and move-forward plans.   This solution includes a Timeline Activity type, a Playbook, an Email Template, and automation business rules that make up the following workflow: CTA triggers with the steps to act on (in the form of Playbook) when it’s time for an Executive Business Review CSMs with up to 20 customers: quarterly CSMs with 20-100 customers: at least yearly CSM to log a Timeline activity with a Type of “EBR” If an EBR Timeline entry does not exist in the above time range, a Rule creates a CTA assigned to the CSM: “Overdue EBR”. The CSM can close the CTA when EBR is logged.  You can access the solution from Administration > Sightline Vault > Customer Success Plays > Executive Business Review. After you import the solution, you can modify the assets to
