Custom Report (Desk)

Custom reports in Zoho Desk let users define specific metrics, filters, and groupings for tailored analysis, with scheduling for automated delivery.

A custom report in Zoho Desk is a user-defined report built by selecting specific metrics, filters, and groupings from available ticket and agent data. It provides tailored analysis beyond the standard built-in report templates.

Building Custom Reports

Custom reports in Zoho Desk are created using a report builder that allows selection of data source (tickets, contacts, agents), metrics to display, grouping dimensions (by agent, team, department, category), filters, and chart types. Reports can be saved and scheduled for regular delivery.

Custom Report Use Cases

Typical custom reports include: ticket volume by industry type for B2B analysis, average resolution time for tickets classified as ‘Integration Issues’, CSAT scores filtered to only Enterprise-tier customers, or weekly backlog reports by department sent to department heads automatically.

Scheduling and Sharing Reports

Custom reports in Zoho Desk can be scheduled to run automatically at set intervals (daily, weekly, monthly) and emailed to specified recipients. This eliminates manual report generation and ensures stakeholders receive regular updates without logging in.

Example: A manufacturing company’s support manager creates a custom report showing average resolution time for warranty claim tickets by product line, filtered to the previous quarter. The report runs automatically on the first Monday of each month and is emailed to the product and service teams.
