Custom Dashboards Extension - Zoho Desk Knowledgebase

Custom Dashboards Extension for Zoho Desk

Dashboards provide a central location for decision-makers to access, interact with, and analyze help desk data so they can make critical business decisions. The visualization also serves as an effective solution to the overwhelming amount of data that users work with every day.
