Creating Dashboards in the Radar App
In todays business landscape, where more and more businesses understand the immense potential of a fulfilling customer experience and are leveraging it to acquire and retain more customers. Identifying unique support metrics and using them to make informed decisions can give you an edge over your competition. With the Radar app, you can visualize help desk data by creating custom dashboards and make the right decision from anywhere, any time.
Let's look into an example scenario where Radar's custom dashboards can help.
Manage incidents even when you're away
Charles is a support manager at Zylker. While traveling to meet a client, he is notified that an incident has occurred in his help desk. But Charles isn't disconcerted by this. Why? because he has Radar on his mobile. He quickly creates a new dashboard that displays real-time metrics, resolution efforts, and ongoing communications to get a comprehensive understanding of the issue. Charles can now confidently guide his team to deliver customer excellence despite being on the move.
