Help desk tools report on tickets; they are worse at the questions a manager actually has — is the backlog growing, which category is driving it, and are we inside the response times we promised. This template answers those from Zendesk or any help desk, and joins the tickets to your customer list so priority accounts are visible.
The support lead uses the top row through the day and the agent table in one-to-ones. Product and operations use the category breakdown to see which defect or process is generating tickets, which is where most of the real savings are.
Agents see their own row and the team totals, not each other’s figures — a row-level rule handles that without a second dashboard. For a broader set of team metrics see the KPIs every business should track.
- Support team leads who want the backlog and response times on a screen the team can see.
- Operations and product managers who need ticket categories to prioritise fixes.
- Managed service providers who owe customers an SLA report every month.
