Use Case: Create a Dashboard Linking to the Visit Browser

This is for:

Business Analyst System Administrator

You can use the Reports (platform-ca | platform-eu | platform-au) page of the Coveo Administration Console to create a custom dashboard that shows the case deflection trend inside your Coveo organization and links to the Visit Browser (platform-ca | platform-eu | platform-au) page to analyze visits where cases weren’t deflected.

Example

In the BestTech Organization, the caseCreate custom event value corresponds to a customer clicking Create Case, and cancel custom event value corresponds to a customer clicking I found a solution!. When customers don’t open a support case after finding a solution by themselves on an organization website, it’s called a case deflection.

Case Deflection Example | Coveo

By analyzing the exact queries that precede a case creation and browsing the user visits in which they were performed, an analytics manager can add content (such as Knowledge Base articles) to the website of their organization to improve case deflection and customer satisfaction (see Report on custom events). Once all the necessary changes are made, the analytics manager can assess if they impacted the case deflection trend. This article covers a way to do just that and describes one of the infinite possibilities you can achieve with custom dashboards.

Before building this particular dashboard, you should get familiar with the custom dashboard and Visit Browser features.

Dashboards are divided into sections that can each contain any usage analytics cards available in the Coveo Administration Console.
