The Comparison report is only available for System Administrators, Category Admins, and Global Users. This report gives you a holistic view of the District\u2019s state so you can visually see the progress of users, topics, and categories and quickly identify areas where your team excels or is struggling to provide actionable next steps.<\/p>

Accessing the Comparison Report<\/strong><\/h2>
  • Click the Dashboard (bar graph) icon in the top left-hand corner of your account.<\/span><\/li>
  • On the left-hand side of the screen, under Comparison, click on Users,\u00a0 Categories, or Topics.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

    Reading the report<\/strong><\/h4>

    \"\"<\/h4>

    The Comparison Grid:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>

    The X-Axis of the grid represents the Average Ticket Age while the Y-Axis of the grid represents the Average CX Score. Depending on the report selected, the dots represent Users, Categories, or Topics. The graph charts 4 quadrants:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    • Top-right: Stellar Service<\/strong>. Dots under this quadrant display areas, users and categories that are doing well in delivering exceptional customer experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
    • Top-left: Improve Response Time<\/strong>. These dots are receiving high scores when it comes to feedback, but compared to the rest of the district, they might be slow to resolve tickets.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
    • Bottom-right: Improve Service Quality<\/strong>. Areas, users, and categories under this quadrant are quick to resolve tickets but aren\u2019t hitting high marks when it comes to receiving feedback.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
    • Bottom-left: Risk Areas<\/strong>. These dots require the most focus as they are both slower in responding as well as receiving low scores from customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
    • Pro tip: Use the map located on the top right corner to focus in on any quadrant.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/li><\/ul>
