Example Reports

Keep track of your customer cases to monitor workload distribution, identify bottlenecks, and prioritize actions to improve case resolution efficiency. Additionally, detailed analysis of escalated cases can be reviewed to gain insights into escalation dynamics and identifying areas that may require process improvements or additional support.

Case Insights

The Case Insights report provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of case management within the system. It highlights a total of cases, open and closed cases. The report breaks down open cases by priority level (High, Medium, Low), source of origin (such as e-mail, manual web entry, and phone), and escalation status. It also identifies unassigned cases and shows how cases are distributed across different accounts and case types. This data helps stakeholders monitor workload distribution, identify bottlenecks, and prioritize actions to improve case resolution efficiency.

User Story gives high level visibility into the overall situation of cases.

Case Escalation Metrics

The Case Escalation Metrics report offers a detailed analysis of escalated cases within the system, focusing on volume, status, origin, and trends. The report identifies the primary sources of these escalations as e-mail and Manual Case Entry. All escalated cases fall under the Standard Case Type category. A line graph tracks escalation trends over time, providing visibility into historical patterns and potential spikes in escalations. This report is essential for understanding escalation dynamics and identifying areas that may require process improvements or additional support.

The case escalation metrics drill down into specific cases or accounts and raise awareness of important customer issues.

Agent Performance Metrics

The Agents Performance Metrics report provides a detailed view of how individual agents are managing and resolving cases. The report also tracks the average number of closed cases per agent over time. This dashboard is essential for evaluating workload distribution, identifying performance gaps, and guiding resource allocation or training needs.
