All Business Units

 

An organization with different business segments can be organized and managed by configuring individual segment or division as a "Business Unit". Different 'Business Units' can be configured based on the different businesses run by the organization. Each Business Unit can have its own Business Unit Administrator, who will have the rights to maintain the different accounts, sub-accounts and other related operations of the Business Unit.

 

Support Rep can also be associated to multiple Business Units, and assigned with different roles for every Business Unit. The support rep associated to multiple Business Units can manage the requests raised across different Business Units under "All Business Units". Based on the role in each Business Unit, the support rep can update, delete, assign, move and link requests in this view.

Business Units can be enabled in order to manage your different businesses. You can enable Business Units by clicking on the Getting Started button on the header.

Dashboards

 

The Dashboard is a visual display of real-time information, consolidated and arranged in a single view so that it can be easily monitored. It provides a quick view of the activities in the present week, present month, previous weeks and previous months, thereby enabling the support rep to take necessary decisions and actions.

 

NOTE: Information displayed on the Dashboard largely depends on the roles associated to the support rep.

 

Data shown in the Dashboard is restricted to the Business Unit the support rep is associated to. When a support rep is associated with multiple Business Units, then a drop down option with 'All Business Units' and the Business Units to which the support rep is associated appears. By choosing the Business Unit, information and data associated with that Business Unit are displayed to the support rep. By default 'All Business Units' option is selected and the data of all the Business Units to which the support rep is associated is displayed.

 

Similarly, data displayed on the dashboard is also restricted based on the roles associated to the support rep.

 

Dashboards tab contains the following widgets:

 

• The first widget displays a matrix chart. It shows the total number of pending requests by Support Reps across all the configured Business Units.

• The second widget lists the number of unresolved requests in Open, Pending, On Hold and OverDue statuses across all the configured Business Units. Clicking on the total numbers in the chart opens the corresponding list of requests in a new tab.

• The third widget displays a bar graph. It shows the number of SLA violated requests. The list can be viewed based on the time period (This week, Last week, This month, Last month) by selecting the time period from the drop down. Clicking on the bars on the graph opens the corresponding requests for view in a new tab.

• The fourth widget displays a pie chart. It shows the number of inbound requests by Business Unit. The list can be viewed based on the time period (This week, Last week, This month, Last month) by selecting the time period from the drop down.
