Manager Dashboard in Workforce Optimization for CSM

A centralized dashboard providing real-time visibility into team performance, work distribution, and actionable alerts. Manage approvals, track KPIs, and oversee your customer service operations from one location.

Overview

 

The Manager Dashboard landing page provides real-time data of the current workload and team performance. It gives managers a single, unified view of key KPIs and the ability to take quick actions, all in one place. Alerts and metrics are displayed in order of urgency, with real-time agent performance metrics available at a glance.

The dashboard can be customized using UI Builder based on your business needs. You can clone the existing landing page, add or edit containers and visualizations, track SLAs, monitor performance across channels, ensure proper staffing coverage, and identify top and bottom performers.
