If you're using the standard calculated attribute workaround in the new Explore dashboard builder to embed instructional GIFs, status badges, or header graphics inside a Table visualization (setting Text interpretation to HTML and enabling Display images), one frequent issue is broken image icons caused by indirect cloud storage URLs.Because Explore's formula syntax requires a raw image stream inside the attribute string:"<IMG img src=https://your-cdn-domain.com/asset-name.gif>"sharing links from Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive will fail to render since those endpoints return an HTML viewer page rather than a direct image/gif or image/png response header.Quick checklist to make sure your Explore dashboard images render reliably:Use direct extension-terminated HTTPS links: If you don't have a public S3 bucket handy for internal dashboard assets, you can convert an instructional screen recording using a direct gif to link host or generate a clean screenshot to url endpoint so th

Hi all,I'm trying to pull Community and Help Center metrics such as:Visits / unique visitors New user registrations Discussion posts and comments Article views and article activity Search analytics Self-service metricsMost documentation points to Zendesk Explore, but I don't see an Explore option in my Zendesk instance.Does accessing these metrics require Zendesk Explore, or are they available elsewhere in Guide/Admin Center? Also, is there a way to determine whether Explore is enabled for our account but not assigned to my user role?Thanks!

Hi there!We are trying the new csat survey with a 1-5 scale, but I only see Good and Bad in reporting, even if it's a scale. Is there a way to see the number picked in the scale or will we only see good and bad anyway in explore? I'd like to see how many 3s for example. Thanks!

University leaders often ask different questions than traditional support leaders.Beyond response time and CSAT, what metrics have been most valuable?Examples:Student satisfaction Resolution time by department Department adoption Knowledge article usage Ticket trends before major academic events Repeat issuesI'd love to see what others are reporting.

Hi all - Zendesk provides so many dashboards and data points for useful information. However, I find that with my leadership they fall short without knowing how the data point is trending. Has anyone rebuilt the Support dashboard in a way that shows whether the metrics it -/+ from a previous time period? I know there are some graphs and chats on the dashboard that get at this and can be built for the rest through new reports.What have you done to easily display trends or tricks in reports to make a whole dashboard? I find the reports difficult to build and even cloning dashboard to customize doesn’t always work well. 

Hei there,Here is a graph for reference.I was wondering how to add a target ​​​​​/goal line at set levels. For example, I could set two lines at 10 and 35.Is there really not an option to achieve it?The best suggestion I saw is to third party integration…  let’s not even discuss about that.Thanks for your inputs!

In an effort to create a report using Analytics, I am able to pull groups and users associated to each group but cannot determine how to pull the access level for the user. I need to provide a listing for user access control reviewed bi-annually. In going through the documentation or your knowledgebase, it appears that I may be able to do this by pulling in the access level via API.  Is that the case?Regards,Rick.

Hello and good morning from a windy Sweden! We are in our first two months of using Zendesk for our Support team and are still very early in adopting it.  For our Support cases we send out a post-case survey where I have set it to use a 5-scale emoji-type with a text to go along with it. But I cant seem to find how I see the average CSAT score. I can only find the % number in Explore, but I want the average.  Can anyone help guide me in the right direction?  All the best-Mattias

Please give a quick overview of your product feature request or feedback and note who in your organization is affected by this issue [ex. agents, admins, customers, etc.] (2-3 sentences)We are requesting that Zendesk make the Knowledge reporting datasets (such as Knowledge Capture and Team Publishing) available through a supported API. This enhancement would benefit Support Operations, Knowledge Managers, Business Intelligence teams, administrators, and Support Leadership by enabling knowledge data to be integrated with enterprise reporting platforms and analytics solutions.What problem do you see this solving? (1-2 sentences)Currently, valuable knowledge usage and publishing data is only available within Zendesk Explore, preventing organizations from combining it with operational, customer, and business data in external reporting platforms. This limits advanced analytics, automation, and enterprise-wide visibility into knowledge effectiveness.When was the last time you were affected b

For me, the most useful CX measurement comes from combining operational metrics with customer feedback and a little healthy skepticism about what the numbers appear to say.We regularly look at metrics like first response time, resolution time, backlog, reopen rate, SLA attainment, and CSAT. Those measures help us understand whether customers are receiving timely, effective support and whether the overall operation is healthy.Benchmarking is also valuable. Comparing an individual, team, channel, or issue type against the average can help identify outliers and point us toward areas worth investigating. But an outlier should start a conversation, not end one.An especially efficient employee and a sloppy employee can look surprisingly similar on a metrics board. Both might have short handle times or high ticket volumes, but one may be resolving issues clearly and confidently while the other is rushing, missing details, or creating repeat contacts. The same is true in the other direction: a

Hello! I am trying to build a report that will show me two things:1. ticket ID2. the text contained in the final note on a ticketI would filter by solved tickets, date range, and inbound call. The place I am struggling is with how to retrieve the actual text of the final note on the ticket. Ideas?

Hello everyone, I’m trying to calculate Ticket Age (in days) in Zendesk Explore by finding the difference between the Ticket Created Date and the current date. 🎯 Requirement / LogicI want to:Subtract Ticket created date from Today’s date Get the result as number of days (Ticket Age) 🔍 What I triedDATE_DIFF(TODAY(), [Ticket created - Timestamp], "days") ❗ IssueI’m getting the error:“Invalid time unit for the given dates”(Attached screenshot for reference) ✅ AskWhat is the correct formula to calculate Ticket Age in days in Zendesk Explore? Which function and time unit should be used (DATEDIFF, DATE_DIFF, etc.)? Should this be built as a standard calculated attribute or a metric? Any working example or guidance would really help. Thanks in advance! 🙏  

Hi, hope you are doing well!The metrics I check most often in Zendesk are CSAT, first response time, and resolution time. They help me understand how satisfied customers are and how efficiently support requests are being handled.I usually set goals by looking at past performance and making small improvements over time, rather than aiming for unrealistic numbers. Reviewing reports regularly helps me spot trends, like recurring issues or slower response times, so I can improve workflows or update help center content when needed.I don't rely only on numbers. Customer comments are just as important because they explain the reason behind the ratings and often highlight areas that need attention. For me, the best way to measure success is by combining performance metrics with customer feedback to continuously improve the overall customer experience.  ThanksIfra Saqlain  

Hi Zendesk team,I’m currently building reporting around our use of Agent Copilot (Auto Assist), and I’m trying to better understand how to accurately define and extract “eligible tickets” for AI suggestions.Specifically, I’m looking to identify:The set of tickets where Copilot could have generated a suggestion, regardless of whether a suggestion was actually surfaced or accepted.I’ve reviewed the available dashboards and metrics, including:“Enriched tickets” in Intelligent Triage Auto Assist usage metrics (auto assist vs non-auto assist tickets)However, I’m not sure if either of these directly represents the population of tickets where AI suggestions were eligible to appear.My questions are:Is there a field, attribute, or dataset in Explore that identifies whether a ticket was eligible for Copilot suggestions? If not, what is the recommended way to approximate this population for reporting purposes? Is “enriched tickets” the closest proxy, or is there a more accurate method?My goal is

For our team, it's really about balancing the numbers with the overall experience. Metrics are important, but they don't tell the whole story.The metrics we watch most closely are first response time, time to resolution, ticket volume by category, and CSAT. First response time lets our users know we're engaged, while resolution time helps us identify where processes might need improvement. Looking at ticket trends is especially valuable because recurring issues often point to opportunities for better documentation, training, or system improvements.Our targets are based on the priority of the request rather than trying to fit everything into the same SLA. A critical issue affecting multiple users is going to have a much different response expectation than a routine service request.One of the biggest benefits of tracking this data is being able to spot patterns. If we notice an increase in tickets around a particular application or process, we can often address the root cause before it b

Hi,I'm trying to build a query which counts the total # of times a specific agent has reassigned a ticket to a user-group (during the previous week).I'm using COUNT(Assignee reassignments) as the metric, and I'm applying a filter for Assignee name, but the result is always zero. Presumably I'm doing something wrong.How can I achieve this? Essentially I would like to count how many times each of our less experienced team-members in Level 1 Support escalates a ticket to a group called Senior Team (which is our Level 2 Support) for the previous week. The Level 2 folks will then assign a ticket to themselves independently. Thank you! :) 

Hello,Is there a way or any existing Metric to calculate the SLA from First Assignment to First Public Reply as attached below? as the current SLA is being calculated from the time the ticket is assigned to the Queue and not to the agent as it might remain New for some time before it is being assigned to an agent which still being counted towards the agent once it is assigned to him.Attached screenshots for your reference.  

Hello Everyone!Is there any way in Zendesk (Explore or native Time Tracking) to report time spent at the individual update/comment level per agent, instead of only ticket-level totals?Specifically, I want to see each update’s duration (not repeated totals) and aggregate it per agent over a given date range.Is this possible natively, or only via API/workarounds?

Hi everyone — I’m trying to analyze customer questions across a subset of tickets (for example, tickets related to a specific product). Ideally I’d like to export the ticket content and conversations into a CSV so I can review patterns in customer questions.Right now I can view tickets individually, but I can’t find a way to export the ticket body / conversation content for a filtered group of tickets.Is there a recommended way to:• export ticket conversations (not just metrics)• filter by keyword, tag, or product first• then download the data for analysis?We receive about 1,000 tickets per month, so reviewing tickets one by one isn’t scalable.Any guidance on the best workflow would be appreciated.

Looking for a way to build a report that shows from where my customers are creating a ticket from?

Hello everyone, I am trying to create a metrics that gives me all the ticket ID that verify both conditions: Not include either tags "Y" and "Z" (so exclude all tickets that have both Y and Z and tickets that have Y or Z) Includes any of the tags "A" and "B"I have triedIF (NOT INCLUDES_ALL([Ticket tags], "Y", "Z") AND INCLUDES_ANY([Ticket tags], "A", "B")) THEN [Ticket ID] ENDIFAs well as IF (NOT INCLUDES_ANY([Ticket tags], "Y", "Z") AND INCLUDES_ANY([Ticket tags], "A", "B")) THEN [Ticket ID] ENDIFIn both of them I still have tickets that have either tag “Y” or tag “Z”. The “NOT INCLUDES_ALL” has a lot more results than the “NOT INCLUDES_ANY”. Any help appreciated since the Zendesk Bot only gives me back the NOT INCLUDES_ANY any solution however I rephrase or adjust my request. Cheers!

Hello Team, According to the following article Sharing Explore dashboards outside Zendesk, dashboards can be shared via external links with users who do not have Zendesk accounts and any configured IP restrictions are enforced, meaning access is limited to the approved IP range.However, the same article also states that “Prebuilt Live Dashboards cannot be shared via external links with users outside of a Zendesk account”. Given that IP restrictions still apply to external links, this limitation appears inconsistent with the overall sharing and security model described.From a business and security perspective, we do not see a clear reason why Prebuilt Live Dashboards should not be eligible for external sharing under the same enforced IP restrictions. We would appreciate it if this limitation could be reconsidered and fixed. Thank you. 

I have 4 custom ticket fields:Start Date - Date field.End Date - Date field.Start Time - Regex field with HH:MM format.End Time - Regex field with HH:MM format. I'm trying to calculate the time between the Start Date + Start Time and End Date + End Time. This is the formula I got so far. It works but the results are incorrect and I can't figure out why. DATE_DIFF(DATE_ADD([Start Date - Timestamp], "minute", NUMBER(SUBSTR([Start Time (HH:MM)], 0, 2)) * 60 + NUMBER(SUBSTR([Start Time (HH:MM)], 3, 5))), DATE_ADD([End Date - Timestamp], "minute", NUMBER(SUBSTR([End Time (HH:MM)], 0, 2)) * 60 + NUMBER(SUBSTR([End Time (HH:MM)], 3, 5))), "nb_of_minutes") Here is how it looks like if I use "minute" instead of "nb_of_minutes": Calculated Start Date: DATE_ADD([Start Date - Date], "minute", NUMBER(SUBSTR([Start Time (HH:MM)], 0, 2)) * 60 + NUMBER(SUBSTR([Start Time (HH:MM)], 3, 5))) Calculated End Date: DATE_ADD([End Date - Date], "minute", NUMBER(SUBSTR([End Time (HH:MM)], 0, 2)) * 60 + NUMBE

I am trying to figure out how to do an hourly chart showing a percentage of two running totals.The running totals are "incoming calls" and “Call wait time (sec)) <= 59”.  This gives us our SLA percentage. We want to be able to see the OVERALL SLA hourly in the chart, NOT the SLA for the hour segment. I have played with Result Path Calculations based on running total with no success.Paying for a custom formula is not going to happen as this type of formula should be able to be created within the report tools. I would appreciate any help or advice possible.
