Creating dashboards with current user variable - URGENT REQUEST

Completed


Posted Oct 19, 2020

Hi team,

 

We would need the ability to create a dashboard for agents where they see only their performance details and not others. With the current flow and process, we don't have this ability. 

 

When the user opens a dashboard that I give access to, the user should be seeing his own stats rather choose the name. We need this ability badly. Please provide a solution to this so that we can provide access all the dashboards prepared by us to our agents.

 

Thanks,
Abhishek

Hello Abhishek and Dave,
thanks for your feedback.

We are aware that sharing a dashboard with different audiences (e.g. agents, organisations, groups, etc) currently requires to create multiple dashboards.

We are actively working on how to dynamically adapt the content of a dashboard to a viewer so that you can build and maintain a single dashboard. We plan to ship it in 2021, I'll keep you posted on the progress.

While you wait for a better solution, you can clone the dashboard and set up default values for filters with Bookmarks.
You can learn more in the "Save default filter values via bookmarks" section of this article.

Thanks for your patience.

The same concept could be used across multiple areas for Explore.

In this case, have the ability to add to the WHERE clause in every single dashboard call, automatically.
WHERE e.g. assignee = {current user}. Just tag it on the end.

 

Please also look to expand this to customer-facing dashboards [in the Help Center], and report schedules. But the WHERE clause would be e.g. WHERE organisation = {current user's organisation}.

Zendesk Explore team. This is a serious and urgent request. Please prioritize this soon. It helps a lot of organizations to build dashboards for their agents in a generalized manner and the agents can see their reports without us sending an email to every individual in the organization.

Hi Walter Bellante

 

Is there an update on when this will be released please? This is a feature we urgently need, we have several hundred agents so creating cloned dashboards isn't really feasible.

 

Thanks

This is an absolute must have feature. Is this still on a roadmap or has it been abandoned?

Is this possible?  Is there a current user variable that be used to as a filter?  The alternative is re-creating dashboards for every user and then filtering them individually to that user, which is cumbersome and not scaleable.  Please advise.

It's not possible still. This is yet another promised feature way past the date it was promised, that appears to have been abandoned/forgotten.

Dear customers,
today I would like to share more than an update and give you the opportunity to get a sneak peek into dashboard restrictions.

I also want to reiterate that it will be available in Q1 ’23 as part of the beta builder.

Dashboard restrictions empower editors to dynamically adapt data to different audiences. As many of you requested, this includes the possibility of creating an individual agent dashboard where data will be dynamically adapted based on the viewer that is logged in.

Thanks again for your patience.
I hope you’ll enjoy the preview.
I will keep you posted once the feature is available.

Dear customers,
we are excited to share that dashboard restrictions are now live on the beta builder.
Dashboard restrictions empower editors to dynamically tailor a dashboard to different audiences.


You can learn more about how to use them in the article.

 

Many of you requested this feature to reduce the number of dashboards maintained when measuring the individual performance of an agent.
To ease your task, we’ve decided to include a “Support agent productivity” template. This has been built to give you an overview of how the agent has been performing on ticket volumes and response time over the last 7 days.
Once you’ve added the template, add a dashboard restriction on “Assignee name” with the value “Based on viewer” and share it with your agents.
Once they open the dashboard they’ll immediately be able to see just their own tickets.

Thanks again for your patience.
We look forward to hearing your feedback.

Walter
