Labels dashboard

For: Managers and admins who follow work by topic through labelsRequires: The Labels dashboard in your user's access rights, set by an admin; Advanced Reporting, which every plan includesScreenshots show sample data

The Labels dashboard counts your tickets by label: for every label, how many tickets created in a period carry it and how many of them are new, waiting within or past their deadline, still open or resolved. Tickets without a label get a row of their own. Teams that label tickets by topic, such as delivery questions, damaged items or pre-sale enquiries, use it to see which topics fill the week. Open it from DashboardLabels in the sidebar. A ticket with two labels counts in both rows, so the rows can add up to more than your number of tickets.

The Labels dashboard in Replyco for the last 7 days. In the left sidebar the Dashboard menu is open and Labels is highlighted. At the top right sit "Filter by Account", "Filter by Marketplace", the period button "Last 7 days" and the gear icon. The Labels widget lists one row per label with the columns New, Within SLA, Overdue SLA, Not Resolved, Resolved and Total, five rows to a page: Pre-sale 2, 6, 1, 10, 9, 19; Delivery 1, 4, 2, 7, 8, 15; Damaged items 1, 2, 1, 4, 5, 9; Warranty claims 0, 2, 0, 2, 3, 5; VIP 0, 1, 0, 1, 3, 4. Page 2 holds Cancellations and No Label. A doughnut chart beside the table splits the totals by label.
Labels counts the tickets created in the period for each label, and those without one, by status.

The dashboard has one widget. For what every dashboard shares, such as periods and layouts, see How the dashboards count.

The Labels widget lists every label that at least one ticket of the period carries, five rows to a page. Tickets with no label at all are counted in the row No Label.

ColumnWhat it counts, for tickets created in the period
LabelsThe label’s name, or No Label
NewTickets nobody has replied to yet and nobody has read
Within SLAOpen tickets with a priority, waiting for your reply, whose respond-by deadline has not passed
Overdue SLAThe same tickets whose respond-by deadline has passed
Not ResolvedTickets that are not resolved
ResolvedTickets that are resolved now
TotalAll tickets with this label created in the period

What is counted. Tickets created in the period, in their state now. Archived tickets are included; tickets of blocked customers and the welcome ticket are left out. A label without tickets in the period has no row.

Example. For the last 7 days, Pre-sale reads 2, 6, 1, 10, 9, 19: 19 new tickets were labelled Pre-sale, 9 of them are resolved and 10 are still open; 6 wait within their deadline, 1 is past it and 2 have been neither read nor answered.

The SLA columns look at the deadline as it stands now, and only tickets with a priority have one; see Ticket priorities and SLA. Point at a row and its slice stands out in the chart; point at a slice and its row is highlighted.

Narrow the counts to accounts or marketplaces

Section titled “Narrow the counts to accounts or marketplaces”
  1. Select Filter by Account above the widget. The list starts with Select all and then names your connected accounts.

  2. Tick one or more accounts. The widget reloads with only the tickets of those accounts.

  3. Use Filter by Marketplace the same way to keep only some marketplaces; both filters apply together.

The Labels dashboard in Replyco with "Filter by Account" open at the top. The list starts with "Select all" and then offers the Northwind accounts: Northwind Electronics UK, northwind-electronics, Northwind Store, the support mailbox and NorthwindHome, with Northwind Support further down; long names end in an ellipsis. The option Northwind Store is highlighted. Ticking one or more accounts reloads the Labels widget with only the tickets of those accounts; "Filter by Marketplace" beside it works the same way for marketplaces.
Narrow the label counts to some accounts or marketplaces with the two filters at the top.

Last 30 days is highlighted. Choosing an entry closes the menu, relabels the button and reloads the Labels widget for that period.
The period menu offers five preset periods and a custom date range.

Select period: Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, Last 90 days; Or select custom dates: Start date – End date
Purpose
choose the period of a dashboard

A period runs from the start of its first day to the end of its last day; Last 7 days starts seven days before today and includes today. The days are your local days: Replyco stores data in UTC and converts the dates you choose into UTC for the search. The dashboard opens with Last 7 days every time. When no ticket of the period matches, the table and the chart show No data....

Every number in the table is a link. A number in a label’s row opens that label’s ticket list, filtered to the dashboard’s period and filters and to the column’s status, such as new, overdue or resolved tickets. A number in the row No Label opens All Tickets filtered to tickets without a label.

To create labels, change their colour or decide who may see them, see Labels. Rules can add labels as tickets arrive; see Rules for incoming tickets.

Select the gear icon at the top right. Turn ON Edit Mode lets you move and resize the widget or remove it with its cross; Manage Widgets offers one tick box, Labels, to hide or show it. The layout is saved at once for your user only, and removing the only widget restores the default layout.

Why do the label totals add up to more than my number of tickets?

Section titled “Why do the label totals add up to more than my number of tickets?”

A ticket with two labels counts once in each label’s row. The Labels dashboard counts tickets per label, not tickets overall. To count each ticket once, use the Channels dashboard under DashboardChannels, where every ticket belongs to exactly one account; see Channels dashboard.

Why can a label’s total be higher than its ticket list?

Section titled “Why can a label’s total be higher than its ticket list?”

The Labels dashboard counts archived tickets created in the period, as the Channels dashboard does, but the label’s ticket list does not show archived tickets; you find them in Archive. That is why a label’s total can be higher than the tickets in its list. Both dashboards leave out tickets of blocked customers and the welcome ticket.

What does the row for tickets without a label count?

Section titled “What does the row for tickets without a label count?”

Tickets created in the period that carry no label at all, with the same six counts as a label row. Selecting one of its numbers opens All Tickets filtered to tickets without a label, for the period of the dashboard.

A label appears only when at least one ticket created in the period carries it, archived tickets included and blocked customers’ tickets excluded. Choose a longer period or clear the account and marketplace filters above the widget, and the label appears as soon as a matching ticket exists.

Can I see the labels of one marketplace only?

Section titled “Can I see the labels of one marketplace only?”

Yes. Open DashboardLabels, select the marketplace filter above the widget and tick the marketplace, for example Amazon. The table then counts only tickets of that marketplace. The account filter beside it works the same way, and both filters apply together.

Does changing a ticket’s labels change past figures?

Section titled “Does changing a ticket’s labels change past figures?”

Yes. The Labels dashboard counts the labels each ticket carries now. Remove a label from a ticket and the ticket leaves that label’s row, also in past periods; add a label and the ticket joins its row if it was created in the period.

How do labels get onto tickets in the first place?

Section titled “How do labels get onto tickets in the first place?”

Agents add labels by hand in the ticket list or in a ticket, and rules can add them automatically when tickets arrive. To create labels see Labels; to label tickets automatically see Rules for incoming tickets.

Every user for whom an admin has ticked Labels among the dashboards, on the Access Rights tab of the user in AdminUsers. The dashboard also needs Advanced Reporting, which every plan includes; see User permissions and roles.

SymptomWhat to check
Labels is missing from the Dashboard menuThe dashboards ticked for your user on Access Rights in AdminUsers
The widget shows No data...The account and marketplace filters, then the period; no ticket created in it matches
A label’s total is higher than its ticket listExpected: the dashboard counts archived tickets, the list does not show them
The rows add up to more than the tickets you receivedExpected: tickets with several labels count in each of them
A label you just created has no rowIt has no ticket from the period yet; tickets labelled later still count if they were created in the period
