In help desk systems that I've used in the past, in addition to the general Dashboard view, you also have a schedule/calendar view that allows you to drag in and schedule tickets into your day. This therefore allows employers to check what staff have planned to work on today, assign new tasks and it also means that you can prioritise urgent tasks and see ahead of time if you can fit everything in that you need to get done.
I have always found this to be a crucial and invaluable tool in a help desk system, I hope that you think so too.
