Help desk agents deal with large amounts of information on a quotidian basis. Each agent might have some information that they refer to frequently—It might be an important ticket or a critical dashboard. When such frequently consulted information is readily available to agents, they become more focused, motivated, and productive. Radar enables instant access to such relevant information via a nifty new feature — My Pins. You can now pin the information that is critical to you or the ones you frequently view to the Radar home and access it in a single click.
