Importance of Excluding Tags in Zendesk Reports
Why is it important to exclude certain tags from Zendesk reports?
Excluding certain tags from Zendesk reports is crucial for accurate data representation and decision-making.
For instance, if your team merges tickets or receives automated notifications, these might inflate your ticket counts and skew key performance indicators (KPIs). By excluding tags like "closedbymerge" or "maintenance_notification", you ensure that only relevant tickets are counted, providing a true reflection of your team's workload and performance. This practice helps maintain the integrity of your reports and supports better business insights.
