Field character limit - ✔✔Object fields have a maximum limit of 250 characters.
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
3 types of objects - ✔✔Standard System(application) Custom
|| || || || || || ||
Low Volume Object - ✔✔Low Volume Objects are custom objects that can be created by
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
Admins from the data management page to store low volume data which needs to be edited
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
frequently.
Mapping is displayed on which field data types - ✔✔GSID, Date, DateTime, Email or, String
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
Data Type
|| ||
Enable Lookup is displayed on which field data types - ✔✔Email, String or GS ID Data type
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
MDA Joins - ✔✔You cannot apply MDA Joins from any standard or system field.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
You can apply MDA joins from any custom field of data type String, GSID, and email.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
Enable Self Lookup - ✔✔Enable self lookup: If you enable this to a field, it allows you to
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
populate GSID from another record by looking up to one or more fields in the same
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
standard object. Admins can use Data import lookup functionality in different connectors to
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
ingest the correct GSID. It creates an MDA join to the GSID of the self object. This is used
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
to create User - Manager hierarchies up to one level and 'My team' and 'Portfolio view'
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
reports.Note: Once you enable self lookup, you cannot disable it. || || || || || || || || ||
String Field Limits - ✔✔Any text. Maximum text length is 255 characters. This data type
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
can be mapped (Join Field data type) to String, SFDCID, and Email.
|| || || || || || || || || || ||

SFDC FIeld - ✔✔When data is being loaded to an Gainsight object with SFDC ID as a data
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
type, the application checks and converts 15 digit IDs to 18 digit SFDC ID. If the SFDC ID
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
value is not a 15 digit or an 18 digit record, data would be rejected. SFDC ID field can
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
contain NULL. ||
This data type can be mapped (Join Field data type) to string and SFDCID
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
GSID - ✔✔36 digit || || ||
Rich Text Area Limit - ✔✔15,000 characters
|| || || || || ||
WHOID - ✔✔A field of this data type can be created in any standard or custom object. This
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
field has the ability to dynamically join with the User or Person object to identify a user or
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
person uniquely from the current object. This helps to build reports on the current object
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
and join the selected fields from the Person or User object.
|| || || || || || || || || ||
WHATID - ✔✔Admins would be able to create a field of this data type in any standard or
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
custom object. This field has the ability to dynamically join with another standard object to
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
fetch the source information. This helps to build reports on the current object and join the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
selected fields from the standard object. Currently, Gainsight does not support to create a
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
new field of this data type.
|| || || || ||
Data Import from CSV File limit - ✔✔1 MB (Larger files use S3 or bulk API)
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
4 data stores that make up MDA - ✔✔AWS Redshift: This is Gainsight's primary bulk data
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
store DB and holds all the actual data values that are stored in the MDA.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
Mongo DB: This is a NOSQL type database used to store all the schema / meta data for the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
tables that are in Redshift. || || || ||
Postgres: This database is used to store and process transactional type data and is used in
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
specific parts of the Gainsight product, such as Scorecards 2.0 and Programs.
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
Redis: This database is used to cache session data.
