Creating Dashboards in the Radar App

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.

    5. Tap Save
      .
Notes
Note 
The visibility of the dashboard depends on the folder in which it gets stored. If a folder is visible to all agents, the dashboards it contains will also be visible to everyone.

Adding Components to a dashboard

Components are the various charts, graphs, tables, and other data visualizations that you see in dashboards. Each component might signify a particular metric. Radar has some prebuilt charts that you can customize and add to your dashboards. You can also visualize your custom reports, custom views and add them to the dashboard.

    1. In the Report Analytics tab, you will see both prebuilt and custom reports from the Analytics module of Zoho Desk grouped into folders.
      1. Open a folder and select a report. ( You might not be able to select some of the listed reports. This is because they are Tabular reports, which are not supported in Radar custom dashboards. However, we support the other two report types namely matrix and summary.)
    2. Enter a new name for the component.
    3. Choose a chart type. You can choose to display the report using the following infographics:

      5. line
      6. multiple line
      7. table
    4. Then select what metric should be displayed along the X and Y-axis respectively. 
      Info
      In case of stacked bar, percentage bar, and multiple line charts you can set the grouping.
    5. Preview the chart below and tap Add.
  6. If you want to add a prebuilt component from the gallery, follow the below steps:
    1. Swipe to the Gallery tab.
    2. Tap a component to customize it. 
    3. Enter a new name for the component.
    4. Select the Time Period from which the data should be displayed. 
    5. Select the Agents whose data must be displayed. You can display data concerning all agents or a specific agent.
    6. Tap Add
      .
  7. If you want to add a custom view component, follow the below instructions:
