Impact of Downgrading Agents on Zendesk Explore Reports

Understand how downgrading agents affects Zendesk Explore reports. Learn how to maintain report accuracy.

How does downgrading an agent affect Zendesk Explore reports?

Downgrading an agent can impact Explore reports, especially those that filter by user role. Once an agent is downgraded to an end user, they will no longer appear in reports that slice data by user role.

To mitigate this, consider downgrading the agent to a light agent if your plan allows. Alternatively, you can create custom attributes in Explore to track historical data for downgraded agents. This ensures that your reports remain accurate and useful.
