Dear Fresh desk Team, 

We were given hope that we will be able to fulfill all our requirements from the Analytics of Fresh desk. But it is really very sad, that the Tool is unable to pull out the data which are filled in the single-line & Multi-line text fields. I have seen many posts on the community page where the answers are like “ this feature being picked up and will keep you posted herewith any progress on the same” from past 4 months. We have recently upgraded to the PRO Plan mainly for this reporting purposes, but Fresh desk had failed to provide 100% support. 

This is like “Fresh desk Tool is supporting analytic part but cant fulfill customer requirement”.

Would request the concern to look into this feature asap and do the needful by fixing the gap.

Regards,

Senthil

I have just come off a support chat, and I am advised that it is NOT POSSIBLE to filter on Text (single line or multi-line) fields in Analytics.

 

Scenario: I want to add a url as a text field in a ticket and filter a widget based on whether this is present. It is unbelievable that this is has been overlooked. The Text fields can be seen in the underlying data but as far as the widget is concerned, it would contain ALL cases whether the field contains data or not.

 

Suggestion: Please allow filtering on Text fields where data is present (or not) or on partial matches for words or sentences.
