Report Types
Dashboard Reports
Dashboard Reports refer to the reports that can be downloaded directly from the Helpdesk Dashboard using the “Download Tickets” option.
These reports allow users to export ticket data based on the current filters and views applied on the dashboard.
Downloading Dashboard Reports
Users can download dashboard reports by:
- Navigating to the Helpdesk Dashboard
- Applying the required filters or date ranges (optional)
- Clicking the Download Tickets option
Behavior
- The downloaded report respects the filters, groups, and date ranges applied on the dashboard
- Additional columns configured by admins may be included in the downloaded report
- These additional columns do not affect the dashboard interface and appear only in the exported file
Custom Reports
Custom Reports are designed for advanced and detailed reporting needs.
They allow admins to configure reports with:
- Custom fields and columns
- Filters and conditions
- Scheduled report delivery
Custom Reports can also be scheduled to be automatically sent to specific users at defined intervals, making them useful for operational reviews, leadership reporting, or compliance needs.
