Business Workflows Reports

The reports in the Business Workflows Reports are useful to view case-related, knowledge-related, and service level management information. The dashboard consists of three tabs that contain the following reports:

  • Case reports—Monitor case performance, agents workload, service target status, efforts.
  • Knowledge reports—View information about knowledge articles such as author, status, support group, assignee, and so on.
  • Service Level Management reports for cases—Monitor the progress of a case.

Case Dashboard

The Case Dashboard consists of the following reports for cases:

  • Case Trend by Category—View cases based on categories for the selected time unit in an interactive multi-line time chart.
  • Cases by Priority—View cases based on priority in an interactive bar chart.
  • Case Statistics—View key metrics for cases.

The reports in the Case Dashboard provide information about case priorities, categories, and statistics. These reports are different from the reports that are available on the Case reports tab of the Business Workflows Reports dashboard.
