  • You manage Custom Profile Pages within the "Profile Page Templates" section of the "Data Model" Global Tool

Who is this article for?

  • All Planhat users

  • It's particularly relevant for users who have access to the "Data Model" Global Tool, likely to be Planhat admins (e.g. CS Ops)

Introduction

A Company Full-Page Profile is where you can zoom in and focus on one particular Company at a time, getting a full 360-degree view of that customer/prospect, and seeing all the important data about them, of all different types, in one place. It includes CRM data, usage data, emails, and so on.

You can customize the layout of Company Full-Page Profiles, making multiple personalized versions that automatically apply as appropriate for different groups of Companies (e.g. Companies in a specific Phase or Tier) or different Planhat Users (e.g. those with a particular Role or in a particular Team).

One element of Company Full-Page Profiles that you can customize is the tabs along the top. These can consist of:

  • Default tabs, such as the main "Overview" tab

  • Tabs displaying related records of other data models, e.g. an "End Users" tab will list the End Users associated with that Company

  • Custom Profile Pages - these are Pages (tabs) that you have created

The screenshot below shows part of a Company Full-Page Profile, with the tabs ringed in green at the top. A Custom Profile Page ("Group Overview") tab is selected, and shown in the main part (the left panel) of the Profile.

Like Pages in general, Custom Profile Pages can be for either internal use (i.e. for you and your colleagues) or external use (i.e. sharing with customers/prospects). We talk you through use case examples later in this article.

There are two different ways that you can include a Custom Profile Page in a Company Full-Page Profile:

We'll go through these different methods - how and why you would use them - in this article.

πŸ“Œ Important to note

Previously, you created and managed "Object Profile Pages" within the "Content" (i.e. "Content Manager") Global Tool.

The "Content" ("Content Manager") Global Tool has since been deprecated, and its "Object Profile Pages" part has been renamed "Profile Page Templates" and moved to the "Data Model" (previously simply called "Data") Global Tool.


What are Custom Profile Pages?

Pages are ways to display data in particular formats - although they are all customizable. Pages are a vital building block in upgraded Planhat (ws.planhat.com), and while they are often organized into Sections/Views/Libraries, they are also great for adding even more functionality and personalization into Company Full-Page Profiles, where they are called Custom Profile Pages or Profile Page Templates.

Custom Profile Pages displaying charts/tables of live data are automatically filtered to only show the data of the specific Company in question.

This is an example of a Dashboard Custom Profile Page:

Why use Custom Profile Pages?

There are so many different use cases for Custom Profile Pages! Here are just some examples - we bet you can think of more!

Internal Profile Pages - for you and your colleagues

You and your teammates will view and interact with these Profile Pages directly within Planhat, when looking at Company Full-Page Profiles.

  • Account overview - displaying the data that your business considers the most important, and summarizing the key points. If a Company's Owner changes (typically when a CSM leaves and a new one takes over), the new Owner can get up to speed using this Custom Profile Page. Also, an Executive Sponsor can use it for a quick overview before joining a meeting with the Company

  • Group overview - for parent Companies in a group structure, bringing together data from all their child Companies

  • AI summary - compile and display various types of data generated by Planhat's AI functionality, such as AI insights, AI SWOT analysis, ML End User Relevance Scores, and so on

  • Org chart and key stakeholders - display data on your main contacts at that Company, with more flexibility in design than the default End Users tab

  • Internal action plan - use a collaborative Document with your teammates to plan your strategy and to-dos related to the Company

  • TAM summary - if you have Technical Account Managers managing specific technical topics, here you could create a Dashboard summarizing the data related to this (e.g. technical projects) - useful for the TAM themselves, the CSM/Owner, and anyone else working on or taking over the account

  • Adoption metrics - displaying a selection of usage data focusing on how (End Users at) the Company are adopting your product(s)

External Profile Pages - for sharing with customers

You can share Custom Profile Pages by displaying them as full-screen slides (great for presentations) or by sharing them to Portals. Some examples of external Custom Profile Pages include:

  • Presentation slides - for meetings such as Kick-Offs, QBRs, Success Alignments, and so on. These can include charts/tables with live data about the Company. You can save time by using these pre-existing Profile Pages as templates; you still have the option to customize them (e.g. with Company logos) as required

  • Objectives / success plan - displaying data on goals and achievements, which you can discuss with your customer


Managing Custom Profile Pages in the "Data Model" Global Tool

πŸ“Œ Important to note

To access the "Data Model" Global Tool, your Role needs the "Data Management" workflow permission.

You can design and manage Custom Profile Pages in the "Data Model" Global Tool for admins (previously called simply the "Data" Global Tool for admins). Like other Global Tools for admins, you access this by clicking on your tenant logo (or tenant name) in the top-left corner of Planhat.

Within the "Data Model" Global Tool, you'll find "Profile Page Templates" in the bottom left.

Select this, and you will see any existing Profile Page Templates listed, like so:

Managing existing Profile Pages

  • Click on a Page name to open it - you can view it, and edit it if applicable

  • You can use the search box at the top to find a specific Page

  • In the "Profiles" column, you can see whether that Page is used in a Full-Page Profile Template - click on the symbol/number to see the names of the Profile Templates, and then you can click on one of those to jump to that Profile Template's configuration menu

Creating new Profile Pages

To create a new Custom Profile Page, click the orange "+ New Page" button in the top right.

Your options are:

  • Create a new Page from scratch

  • Click "+ Add existing page" if you would like to take a Page from elsewhere in your tenant (e.g. part of a Section) and make it also available as a Profile Page

  • "Browse Planhat Global Templates" takes you to a library of Page templates provided by Planhat

πŸš€ Tip

It's also possible to create a Custom Profile Page directly on a specific Company's Full-Page Profile. Use this option if you want to create something unique for that Company, rather than a Custom Profile Page Template to use in multiple Company Full-Page Profiles.


How to apply a Profile Page - options

There are 2 main methods to apply Custom Profile Pages to Company Full-Page Profiles. The table below summarizes the differences between these options:

Include in Company Full-Page Profile Template (e.g. Enterprise Companies)

Add to an individual Company Full-Page Profile (e.g. Apple)

Mirrors the Page

Makes a copy of the Page

You can/should only update field data. If you make changes to widgets etc., that would affect the Page Template and other Company Profiles where it's used

You can edit anything on the Page, e.g. text boxes and images, without affecting the original Page Template or other Company Profiles where it's used

Is a way to bulk-apply a Page to multiple Companies at once

You manually apply the Page to each individual Company - more manual work, but more flexibility

These tabs can be in the main tab list or nested under "..."

These tabs are always nested under "..."

Typical use case: an internal Page displaying charts/tables, e.g. "Key Data" or "Account Summary"

Typical use case: an external Page, such as a presentation you will give to a customer, where you want to change titles and images (e.g. to include their logo)

Let's take a look at example screenshots, showing how to set these up, and what they look like when implemented.

Including in a Profile Template

The screenshot below shows a "Group Overview" Custom Profile Page Template being included in a Custom Full-Page Profile Template, designed in the "Data" Global Tool for admins. On the right-hand side of the screenshot, we've clicked the "+" button to add a new tab, and you can see there's a list of Profile Page Templates available in that tenant to choose from.

Here's that Profile Page as a tab in a Company Full-Page Profile where that Template is applied:

Adding to an individual Profile

The screenshot below shows an example of a Company Full-Page Profile, with Profile Page Templates listed under the "+".

Here you can add your choice of existing Custom Profile Page to this specific Company's Profile. You can alternatively create a brand new Profile Page from here (as we also stated previously).
