Introduction

Help Desk Insights consists of widgets that display information in charts. Each chart shows a specific set of data related to the support team’s performance. For example, you can generate metrics such as the number of backlogs, violated and escalated cases, SLA performance, and more with Help Desk Insights. 

It is the one-stop destination to get a summary of your support team’s progress and is beneficial for those in the role of support team managers and supervisors. 

    Accessing Help Desk Insights

    Follow these steps to view Help Desk Insights:
    1. Log in to the CRM.
    2. Click the main Menu.
    3. Go to Help desk.
    4. Go to Customer Service Analytics > Help desk Insights.

    Viewing Data on the Help desk Dashboard

    Help Desk Insights is divided into two parts: 

    • Real-Time Metrics - These are the crucial metrics important for a support manager, such as violated and unresolved cases. Support managers can use this data to take necessary actions. 
    • Historical Metrics - Historical metrics display data collected over a specific period, such as an agent’s performance from time A to time B, average first response time, and so on. You can also filter the data based on time.
    • Pendency Report - These help Support Managers get insights into cases assigned by group and their ages, and to view if particular groups are lagging behind.
