Frequently asked questions

How do I view combined data records?

Agile Research data records are not included with your Medallia Experience Cloud records in the EDR Summary of Admin Suite. To view your Agile Research data records, see "Account overview" at the top right of your Agile Research homepage. Add this value to your EDR Summary total to get your total data records count.

Total responses counter.

Note:

Only Agile Research Account Administrators or users with Billing Administrator permissions will be able to see the ‘Account overview’.

How does a customer purchase more records?

If an existing EDR customer wants to purchase more EDRs, this will go through the normal expansion order process between Sales and Deal Desk.

How do I configure customer location settings in Agile Research?

The default location setting in Agile Research will reflect the server location of a customer’s instance. Users can adjust their location setting in Account > Profile.

When provisioning your Agile Research instance, an Account Administrator will be assigned for Agile Research. For all other users, their accounts will be provisioned with a default set of base roles and permissions when they access Agile Research for the first time via the Application switcher. These roles and permissions are as follows:

How do I change Account Administrators?

To change the Account Administrator, the current Account Administrator should submit a technical support request here. The new Account Administrator must be an existing user in the Agile Research account.

How do I request a custom domain?

Contact Technical Support here to set up custom domains for Agile Research. Follow the guide on this page. To use your own domain, submit the request by clicking the question mark in your account and then selecting Request a custom domain.

Note:

If the customer has custom domains set up in Experience Cloud already, Agile Research can use the same custom email domain. However, Agile Research cannot use the same custom survey URL subdomain.

How do I use Medallia Video in Agile Research?

To use Medallia Video in an Agile Research survey, reach out to Technical Support at help.medallia.com to set up a new channel in Medallia Video under the customer’s existing Medallia Video instance. Request the channel name to be ‘[Survey Name] - Agile Research’ and ask the Technical Support team to provide you with the API Key and Channel ID for this new channel, which will be needed to add the video/audio question to the Agile Research survey. See Medallia Video question for additional details on the Video/Audio question type in Agile Research.

Note: To avoid media from different surveys ending up in the same environment, do not use channel credentials (API key and Channel ID) that are already being used for Experience Cloud surveys.

How does this integration impact Medallia Experience Cloud customers who already have a standalone Agile Research instance?

If Experience Cloud customers want to connect their existing standalone Agile Research instances to Experience Cloud, Medallians/customers/partners should still follow the process of submitting an Agile Research Provisioning request. This will allow Deal Desk to generate the legal agreement, which is still required to connect an existing Agile Research standalone instance to Experience Cloud.

After the legal agreement is signed, Deal Desk will notify the Product team directly. The Product team will then reach out to customers' Medallia account teams to ensure customers are aware of the differences between Agile Research functionality when connecting their existing instances to Experience Cloud.

After confirming customers want to connect their existing standalone Agile Research instances to Experience Cloud, the Product team will submit a ticket for engineering to connect the standalone Agile Research instances to Experience Cloud via the Application switcher.

Who has to sign the legal letter for partner managed accounts?

If the client has contracted software with Medallia directly, then the client should sign the client-facing letter. If the client has purchased Medallia software via the Partner, then the partner should sign the Partner letter and the Partner should have the client sign a letter similar to the client-facing letter.

How do I create a new user?

See the steps in Custom account provisioning to create new users in either Admin Suite or Classic setup. Also see Users and User accounts for additional details.
