Limits and Constraints of Gainsight Data Management

Overview

Gainsight Data Management is a component of the Gainsight application that enables administrators to create and manage Matrix Data Objects. As an analogy, a Matrix Data Object and its field(s) can be thought of as a database table and its columns.

This document lists various limits and constraints that exist around usage of Gainsight Data Management (GDM) and to help prevent GDM Customers and Support Teams from hitting multiple failure scenarios while performing activities such as data ingestion, object/field creation, etc.

Object and Field Level Limits/Constraints

Serial No. Limit / Constraint Value
1. Constraints around naming conventions of objects Should be unique within a Tenant
2. Constraints around naming conventions of fields/columns i.e. Display Name Should be unique within an object
3. Maximum number of fields/columns allowed in an Object (Either Standard or Custom) 200 (Recommended)
4. Maximum file size while creating a Custom Object using CSV through the option Data File Upload (CSV) 1 MB
5. Maximum number of records that can be displayed per page (applicable to All Objects view, Object specific view & Data view) 100 per page and 1000 in total
6. Decimal Places Max number of decimal places is 9 (This parameter is used for display up to number of decimal places in Reporting)
7. Maximum number of fields allowed in a formula field in GDM 26
8. Operators Supported by Basic Formula Builder +,-,*,/,(,)
9. Maximum file size while using Import Data option for data ingestion 1 MB
10. Field Names
  • A field name for a custom field is the display name appended by __gc and all the special characters will be trimmed (underscore is not trimmed).
  • Display name can be alphanumeric but it should not start with a number 
  • Display name should not contain numbers only.

Example:

Display Name Field Name
Customer123 Customer123__gc
Ernst&Young ErnstYoung__gc

    1234 Field name will not be created

  • A field name for a standard field is same as the display name
