About the Service Desk Dashboard widgets

Service Desk Dashboard widgets provide overviews of Service Desk tickets for the organization or appliance, as selected.

This section describes the widgets available on the Service Desk Dashboard. If the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, the widgets show the information for the selected organization at the Admin level and for the appliance at the System level.

This dashboard provides a high-level overview of your device usage. Use it to quickly review the state of your devices and look for any indicators that can improve your ticket management. For example, you can see the numbers of active or overdue tickets per owner.

The title, chart type, and grouping of items in some widgets can be updated. The grouping options vary slightly between these widgets.
