Who is the Ideal User of This Dashboard?

What You Can Accomplish With Dashboard

1. Open Cases

KPIs: Each card contains a KPI related to the open cases during the specified period, number of open cases, number of users with open cases, and the average ‘open since’ time for the population of cases. The trendline represents the movement of the given KPI over the specified time period to the selected end date.

Key Metrics by Agent Group: Each group of bars represents KPI metric, broken out by Agent Group, to show groups with the most/least outstanding cases and top/bottom ‘open since’

Times. The ‘Key Metrics by Agent Group’ chart can be used to filter this table to only view cases related to the selected Agent Group.

Open Cases Detail Table: This table contains relevant details about the open cases during the specified time period.

2. Response Performance

KPIs: The KPI cards each contain KPIs related to resolved/closed service desk cases during the specified period. The trendline represents the movement of the given KPI over the specified time period to the selected end date.

Agents Group and Priority – Closed Cases and Ratio: This chart shows the number of closed cases and the ratio of closed to created cases by Agent Group and priority level. The color saturation is based on the closed-to-created ratio; darker cells have a higher proportion of closed cases to created cases.

Agent Group – Avg. Resolution Time: This chart shows the average resolution time for the closed case population, broken out by each Agent Group.

Agent – Response Performance: This table displays the closed cases, users served, and average resolution time for each individual agent. The two charts above the table can be used to filter to only agents in the selected Agent Group.

3. Activity Analytics

Case Creation Distribution: This chart shows peak case creation periods throughout the work week. This allows visibility into the busy and idle periods to inform resource allocation.

Case Assignments – Top Agents: In this chart, agents are ranked by the total number of created cases assigned to them in the selected time period. The tooltip for each agent also shows the percentage of closed to created.

Case Creation – Top Users: In this chart, users are ranked by the number of cases they have created in the selected time period.

Closed/Created Case Trending: This chart shows side-by-side trending for created cases and closed cases. The dark grey trend line represents the closed cases, and the light grey trend line represents the created cases.
