Hi,
When following the instructions on how to access the dashboard:
We do not have the Live dashboard available. Is there anything we need to do to have it available?
Thanks,
Ela
Hi Rob, just a question. for support metrics. I can't see the widget for "Support - New Tickets" It's a limitation of the real time dashboard?
Hi Mihaela Dragota
You'll need to be using Explore Enterprise in order to access the live dashboard.
For more details, see https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360053675853
Thanks!
Hi Diego Garcia
Just to check, have you updated to Explore Enterprise (see https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360053675853). You'll need the new live dashboard to see that metric. Thanks!
Yes, i can see the other set of metrics, but no for New Tickets. I can see "New tickets 30 min" and "New tickets 60 min) but no "New tickets" in general. Like open or pending or solved or hold tickets
Hi Diego,
Thanks for providing that screenshot! I was able to replicate this issue in my test account. When I typed tickets into the search bar the Support - New Tickets selection did not show up. However, when removing tickets from the search bar, I was able to scroll down and find this value as shown below:
Are you able to find this value if you do not enter any text in the search bar?
Let us know your results!
Unimaginable 🤦♂️. Thanks a lot.
Hi Guys, I have another question and i'm posting here to help other users.
Can you tell me what means the highlighted numbers in this widgets?
Example: For "Change in New Tickets 30 min) i understand that -13 is the result of compare new tickets in the last 30 min vs the previous 30 min timeframe. Whtas, what about "-7". The same for "New Tickets 30 min" widget.
Thanks a lot.
Your feature looks fantastic BUT people has to know that to have Support, Talk, Chat datas, they will be compeled to subscribe to your "Enterprise" plan otherwise, it is not possible to get these datas.
I thinks the best alternative to this would be Grafana for example but it is just my opinion.
It is too expensive for this unique feature and people like me doesn't need the full features of your "premium" plans.
Sorry, i don´t understand your response about this. I can see the data, i just want to know what it means.
Hello Diego García,
This looks like a bug we have seen within Explore. I've opened a ticket for you on this issue so one of our specialists can work with you to resolve this. You should receive an email shortly followed by a response from our Explore expert.
Best regards.
One of things we don't in Explore is some sort of live tracking on how many agents are working on support tickets (live). With live dashboard for Zendesk Support, would it be possible track something like number of live agents updating tickets? Thanks!
Hi all,
I'm not sure who to give Kudos to Rob Stack, but please thank whoever put this amazing dashboard together - it's fantastic!
Thanks so much Heather Rommel, I'll be sure to pass this feedback onto the team!
Hello!
Would I be able to create a live ticket tracker by employee?
Hi Francisco, I don't think that's possible right now, but it's a great idea for a feature. I'd definitely encourage you to add that to our Explore feedback section at https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/topics/360001200913
This will make sure it comes to the attention of product group members and other customers who can then vote for your idea. Thanks!
Is it possible to set up any email notifications for this Live data dashboard reporting? Our goal is to find a way for one or two of our Admins to receive live data reporting by email as a way to track any spikes in ticket volumes. Currently, there is no feature that exists within Zendesk that allows this so I'm wondering if there something within this feature of Live Data Dashboards that can simply be emailed to us (as frequent as we want) as an alternative?
Hi Rachel Cabana, thanks for the feedback. While this is not currently possible, the engineering teams are aware of this need. To assist them in planning and prioritizing, it would be great if you could add this request to our Explore feedback section at https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/topics/360001200913 Thanks!
