Introduction
The TRENDS dashboard allows managers and other users to monitor tasks and service request completion performance. This page describes how managers can view these trends and metrics to see how the organization performs in specific areas.
Using the trends dashboard
The TRENDS dashboard has three main parts:
- The filters
- The service request reports
- The task reports
Trends dashboard filters
A manager can use the two filter options to change the data displayed on the dashboard. Changing either one of the filters will apply this filter to all displayed charts.
The two available filters are:
-
Time period - the user can select to look at the data over a 30, 60, or 90-day historical period. By default, the dashboard will use a period of the past 30 days.
-
Service Request type - the user can select to look at a service request for a specific type only. By default, all of the service request types display.
Service Requests reports
The charts and figures on the trends page give insight into service requests. Some questions that this service request data can answer are:
- How long are service requests taking to complete?
- Are service requests completed on time?
