Understanding terminologies

Here’s a visualization of how different entities are organized together to make data consumable. 


  • Metric: A metric represents a measurable value that serves as the basis for creating widgets. For example, number of tickets, number of agent replies. 
  • Module: A group of similar metrics under common categories, that makes it easier to understand and analyze specific aspects of your data. For instance, the "Answers" module in Chat contains metrics related to the performance and effectiveness of the knowledge base Question and Answers. For details, see 
  • Widget: A visual representation of data derived from one or more metrics. The different types of widgets include:
    • Text widgets
    • Chart widgets
