Interpreting Capacity Reports in Zendesk Explore

Learn how to interpret capacity reports in Zendesk Explore to optimize agent workload and service levels.

How do I interpret a capacity report in Zendesk Explore?

Interpreting a capacity report in Zendesk Explore involves understanding if an agent is reaching their maximum capacity as set in the omnichannel routing rules. If an agent consistently hits their maximum capacity, it might be time to increase it, provided they don't feel overworked.

Alternatively, if agents are overburdened, consider adding more agents to distribute the workload. The report also highlights if an agent exceeds their capacity due to manual ticket assignments or reopened tickets. This insight helps in fine-tuning capacity rules to ensure agents are challenged but not overwhelmed.
