[Read This] Welcome to the Q1 Cohort!

Welcome to the Q1 cohort!We're excited to try something new with our new GUIDEcx users. I had an idea: what if we created a group where new users can learn and exchange tips with each other? That would be pretty cool, right? My vision is for this group to be a supportive and tight-knit community where you can make connections and share tips as you navigate GUIDEcx. So, let's give it a shot and see where it takes us. Don't hesitate to ask any of your questions in this group and let's learn together!Next Steps:Say hi to your group members and introduce yourself! Share your company and position. Maybe consider sharing a fun fact about yourself or asking a question! Bookmark this group so when you have questions you can ask your fellow guides!PS Any and all questions are welcome! Remember that if you’re thinking it, chances are so are others! Please ask away!

Project Template Updates and Organization?

Wondering how people are managing template changes & organization. Our templates are used via an integration, and so it can be challenging to make updates because projects may be created while trying to make edits and updates.I’ve started making copies of the existing template, updating it and then swapping it out. However now I have a number of templates that  dont need anymore. Theres no archive and I worry about messing with reporting if I delete the templates.

Does Deactivating a Guide Remove them from Projects as a Team Member?

Hello! Does anyone know if deactivating a GUIDE (and reassigning all their tasks/Projects) also removes them from any projects they are a Team Member on? I don’t have a great way of testing and my team would like to know before they go about deactivating a user.Thank you in advance for anyone who has any answers or tips!

Sort on Completed Tasks in Projects View

I am on the Projects view. I only have 1 column sorted. That sorted column is “completed tasks”.  The results is not as expected.  Please see the attachment. Why would the 10 completed tasks not be under the 13 completed tasks?

Once you create a filter. Save that filter. Is there a way to rename that saved filter?  Is there a way to make changes to that saved filter and save it again, thus updating it?

If I delete a customer in Program Management it should delete completely

It looks like the only way to clean up my customer list (sometimes I do a lot of testing and create a lot of test customers) is by creating a “trash can” and then putting all my test customers in there to consolidate them.

Project Notes - Is there a way to better view embedded pictures/screenshots?

I like to document any conversation in GuideCX that I had about the project in places like email or Slack.  The frustration that there really isn’t any good way that I’ve found to do that.  If I screenshot the email or slack convo and paste in the graphic - it’s miniscule and unreadable - and there isn’t any way I’ve found to make it bigger.  Here is what it looks like - from writing the notes in the task details, or from the Notes tab This is what I am pasting in: And this is what it looks like   If I try to just copy the text and paste it - I might be able read the text but it looks even worse as it takes out any graphics I’ve included in the email and put a weird placeholder icon.What are other options that I could use?

How to change a project from Internal to External

I have a project created that is currently marked as an Internal project. I need to share it with my customers so they have access to it.  When I go to Add Team members on the Customer tab, it tells me I cannot add anyone because it is an Internal Project.  How can I update this so that I can now share with my clients?

Customer/Project Passwords?

Good morning all,I tried searching the help center first but didn’t see an actual answer. So I found where clients can create a password but it doesn’t really work since it won’t let them create one without a “current password”. If you click on “forgot password”, you just get caught in an endless loop of email links and no actual passwords can be created. Help! Original question (answered):Can clients/customers we’ve invited to a project create a password for their project? Or can they only get to the project via the links in the emails? I’ve had a few customers mention that they haven’t seen an option to create a password and some have the experience that the email links don’t work properly (which I’ve only noticed happens whenever the system is down). But I have a few clients who prefer to set up a password. Thanks!

Salesforce Report with Status Change Info?

Salesforce is the common tool that unites many departments in our organization. Because of this, I tried to incorporate Project Level Status Change Reasons/Descriptions into a dashboard but didn’t see those details in the GuideCX Projects report. Has anyone found a good way to incorporate those details into Salesforce?

Incomplete display of large teams with View As turned on

With the View As feature turned on, I had an onboarding manager notice today that they could not see a customer team member to edit them.We have a particular project where there are a large number of people involved for, well, reasons. There are 33 team members on the customer team - visible with View As turned off: With View As turned on, there are 7 cards shown (plus the blank that showed up when I clicked Add Another Customer). The other team members are inaccessible: My manager noticed a typo in someone’s name and was unable to find them to change it. I was able to turn the feature off and find the user to edit them, but there doesn’t seem to be any indication that there are more users or means of loading more into the view.

Project Team Builder gone when View As enabled

Is it the expected behavior that the Project Team Builder functionality is removed if using the new View As functionality? If we turn on the feature, the team builder blocks are gone and they reappear if we turn off the feature. I’ve confirmed that there are project tasks in the plan that have functions assigned to them.

Not Applicable tasks display when using View As for customers assigned Compass view

Now that we’re finally able to try this out, we noticed that when doing the view as feature with a customer that is assigned to the compass view, the scroll of tasks that we’re working on also includes tasks that are set as Not Applicable in the project plan.

Discrepancies with Internal Team Members with Labs feature on vs. off

With the View As feature turned on, I attempted to remove someone from a test project, or from a role in a test project. Either activity resulted in an endlessly spinning circle on the dialog to remove them.I switched the feature off and the user did not show up on the internal team at all.I added a new user to replace them in that role and with the view as feature off was able to assign them the same role.With the feature turned on, now I show two people in that role. The original user (X in the screenshots) and the new user (4).Screenshots:View As On:  View As Off:

Help with "Status Change Reasons" Report & tracking project status changes

Hello,  Ive been trying to leverage the Status Change Reasons report but noticed that it does not track when statuses are changed *from* the statuses, so we cant really track how long they were “on-hold” for.Additionally there are two cards that never have any visualization. The “Reason Group - Done” & “Change Reasons - Done”. It doesn’t appear that change reasons are available for the done section. Can anyone advise on how to get the data I’m looking for and how to use those two cards?

Extended Team page load times with View As turned on

With the View As feature enabled, the Team page for most projects now takes 2-3 minutes plus to load, versus being instantaneous with the feature turned off.The fastest I have seen one load with the feature enabled is 28 seconds. Many take 2 to 3 minutes to load. They do eventually load, I haven’t gotten an error message.Load times seem to be consistent for subsequent viewings of the team page. I will do more experimentation and share anything interesting I find.

Project Summary Details

Hello friends,  As we work on building out the new Board/Plan view we are planning to continue displaying the Project Summary Bar at the bottom of the page. Right now the plan is to display the same data and to mimic the legacy version. I am curious though if there has ever been a metric that you would want included in this bar that isn’t currently part of it? I don’t plan to overstuff it, but would be open to adding metrics if it made sense. Any thoughts or input?

Emailing A Task's Link to the Team

Hi,When sending an email to the team about a specific GuideCX task, I always include the task's link in the body of the email, so they have quick access to re-read the task's specifics.To get the link, I'm opening the task and copy/paste the URL that the browser is showing at the top bar.The resulting link is something like this:https://app.guidecx.com/app/tasks?project-id=410338a2-d261-4ad4-aced-38e66bc&edit-task=true&task-id=7c733a8f-57c4-4aab-a760-0982380bb&milestone-id=22544bcf-c118-4b5e-a922-290c86e9a412&task-type=regularI don't very much like the link I'm sending. We are also using Jira (for other purposes) and the Jira links look much better, like https://tylerjira.ourcompany.com/browse/ATI-2234 Sorry if the question is silly. Is there a better way to send the task's link, that I'm not aware of?
