Widgets Available

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 show data gathered over a period of time, such as an agent’s performance from time A to time B, average first response time, etc. 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.

Agent Performance

Depicts the performance of support agents using important metrics such as case count, average response time, survey response, etc. You can filter the chart by group or user

 

Handy Hint

Most charts show data that are grouped by multiple aspects. For example, the Case Backlog is grouped by different case statuses such as New, Assigned, Open, etc. If you do not want to view the data on Open cases, you can simply click on the label provided at the bottom. 

In the screenshot below, ‘Open’ is greyed out because the chart is not displaying data on Open cases.

Help Desk Insights allows viewing the historical metrics filtered by time. The filters that you set are applied to all the charts/metrics.

You have the following filters: 

Depending on your selected option, you can view today’s metrics, last month’s metrics, etc. 

Follow these steps to use the filter:

  1. Log in to your CRM account.
