Freshworks Customer Service Suite comes with the Unified Dashboard, a powerful tool that provides real-time analytics of your support across all support channels (email, chat, and phone). As a supervisor or admin, you can use the unified dashboard effectively to monitor agent availability, track ticket volume, gauge SLA performance, and take quick actions to ensure superior customer service.

The Unified Dashboard offers different types of live dashboards to suit your specific needs:

1. Default Dashboards: The four default live dashboards are as follows:
   • Overview: Provides a comprehensive view of the overall performance across all channels.
   • Agent Availability: Provides a centralized view of your team's availability across channels, enabling you to optimize customer support efficiently.
   • Chat Performance: Get real-time insights into all the current chat activities with our live dashboard.
   • Phone (Freshcaller add-on required): Offers a complete overview of your call center's ongoing activities, including waiting queue status, team performance, agent availability, and more.
2. Custom Dashboards: Besides the default dashboards, you can create your custom dashboards from a wide range of widgets available across all your support channels.

Notes: By default, the dashboard will show only chat and bot widgets. However, when you enable Freshdesk or buy the Freshcaller add-on, you will see additional widgets. Check the pricing page for details on the Freshcaller add-on.
