See what is open right now, how it splits across agents and channels, who is available, and which tickets have waited longest.

On this page

Analytics > Live view shows the helpdesk as it is at this moment. It has no date range: the counts are for right now and for today, from midnight in the helpdesk's time zone. The page reloads itself every 30 seconds while its tab is in front, and Refresh at the top right reloads it at once. The line under the title says when it last updated.

Live view: seven counts across the top, then open tickets by agent and by channel
Live view with the open tickets split by agent and by channel.

Who has the open tickets#

  • Open tickets by agent counts the open tickets assigned to each person, with an Unassigned bar for the rest.

  • Open tickets by channel counts them by the channel they arrived on, such as email, chat or contact form.

  • Agents lists every active person on the team with their availability (Available, Away or Offline, with the reason for being away when they gave one) and their open tickets. Bot accounts such as the AI agent are left out.

  • Oldest open tickets lists the ten tickets that have been open longest, oldest first, with how long each has been open. Click a ticket number to open it.

Availability is what each person sets for themselves; see Your status and availability. The live view does not track whether someone has the helpdesk open in their browser.

Narrow it down#

Use the menus above the counts to keep one channel, one tag, one agent or one team. With an agent picked, the counts keep the tickets assigned to that person. Export CSV downloads the agent table: each agent, their availability and their open tickets, with a final row for unassigned tickets.

Not in the live view#

  • Each agent's replies and closed tickets so far today. Open the Agents report with the range set to Today instead.

  • A chart of today's tickets hour by hour. Open Busiest times with the range set to Today: its row for today's weekday shows each hour so far.

  • Calls waiting and in progress. Open Live calls in the Analytics menu; see Voice and SMS reports, and live calls.
