Creating Dashboards - Zoho Desk Knowledgebase

Creating Dashboards

The Dashboard is a pictorial representation of your custom reports which gives a real-time snapshot of your organization's key metrics. Using dashboards, you can easily visualize the patterns and trends in tickets, channels, and happiness rating data. For example, you can glance at the tickets that are overdue over a period, compare the ticket load of your agents with the previous quarter, or compare the actual tasks created to the incomplete tasks.

Note:
  • Custom dashboards are not available on the Free edition.
  • Users with Profile permission for managing Reports and Dashboards module can access this feature.
  • Dashboard properties (color, gradient, borders, background, etc.) cannot be modified through the user interface.
  • Dashboards need to be refreshed manually to display the most recent changes.
