Tasks management reports

Tasks Throughput

When analyzing a specific field of interest, you can view how many tasks were:

  • Created
  • Completed
  • Remained open in a specified time frame

This information can be used to answer questions such as:

  • What does my agent's performance and output look like, from the tasks workload perspective?
  • How many tasks per agent are still open?
  • Should the load balancing be re-evaluated?

To maximize the actionable data in these reports, you can filter and group by:

  • Source Site
  • Source Department
  • Assignee's Site
  • Assignee's Department
  • Source Object

Tasks Volume Breakdown

To further analyze your data, you can slice and dice your tasks using two fields of interest.

Select from:

  • Source Site
  • Source Department
  • Assignee's Site
  • Assignee's Department
  • Source Object

This information can be used to answer questions such as:

  • What is the open task’s status distribution, per agent?
  • Which requester produces the most tasks and what is their task type?
