Hiya,

I need some help around Dashboards, please. I want to create a new dashboard where the widget can point to a report/reports I have created. 

I have the following reports that I want to use on the dashboard

  • Report that shows tickets that have not been responded to where 1 hour has passed
  • Report that shows all current outstanding tickets (with specific filters around status)
  • Report that shows all tickets over 30 days old

When I create the dashboard and add a widget, all I get are the inbuilt choices, nothing seems to point to using a report as the data, or to have the same analytic choices/filters to display the above report info.

Can anyone kindly point me the right way on how to achieve this, please?

Thanks

Hi John

Dashboards link to views that you’ve created not other reports

 

If I were in your shoes, I’d be creating an analytics report to display the information that you need.

@RobCrossHM thanks for the reply. I have a report already created so I guess sharing that with the team is the best way then. 

Shame as other ITSM tools you can point a dashboard at a report data, and use that as the widget (Halo for example).

Cheers!

Forgive me, if you’ve already created the report you need then why do you want to create a dashboard to show the same information?

Also, looking at your profile, you’re using FreshService, but you’ve posted in a FreshDesk group, so my answer might not be valid for FreshService
