Why Zendesk Added Dynamic Filtering to Lookup Fields

Discover why Zendesk introduced dynamic filtering for lookup fields, enhancing agent efficiency and customer interaction.

Why did Zendesk introduce dynamic filtering for lookup fields?

Zendesk introduced dynamic filtering to enhance and personalize the way agents interact with customers by showing only relevant data in lookup relationship fields. This change was made in response to feedback from admins who wanted to surface information that directly pertains to the ticket, rather than overwhelming agents with unnecessary data.

By allowing admins to filter lookup fields by the ticket's current user, assignee, requester, and organization, Zendesk aims to increase agent efficiency and improve the overall customer service experience. This update is part of Zendesk's ongoing efforts to integrate diverse data into their platform and make it more accessible and useful for agents.
