Checking recent helpdesk activity

The Dashboard gives you an overview of what’s happening with your service desk software currently. It is tailored according to your role as well as the current plan of your helpdesk. 

Agents can quickly get up to speed with what’s on their plate for the day and keep an eye on what customers think about their support. Supervisors and Admins can take stock of daily trends, agent availability, and current customer satisfaction ratings to make quick decisions on staffing and work distribution. They can also filter the Dashboard by Group or Product to only see metrics corresponding to a particular group or product.

At the top right corner of the Dashboard, you will see the following icons:

On the Estate plan, an admin will see the following widgets on the Dashboard:

  1. Ticket summary metrics
  2. Recent activities
  3. Today’s trends
  4. Unresolved tickets
  5. Arcade 
  6. Customer satisfaction
