Measure helpdesk performance: Ticket attributesUpdated an hour ago
Who can use this feature?
The Ticket attributes report shows what your customers are contacting you about. It ranks ticket volume by intent, tag, and ticket field value, and shows how those volumes move over time, so a rising contact reason becomes a product or ops fix instead of a hunch.
Open the Ticket attributes report
When you select the Overview category from the menu, you can access the Ticket attributes report from the third tab along the top of the page.
- From your helpdesk, select Analytics in the product switcher at the top of the left sidebar.
- In the menu, locate Helpdesk performance, then click Overview.
- At the top of the page, click the Ticket attributes tab.
Charts
The Ticket attributes report has no metric cards. Everything in it measures ticket volume, sliced by one of three attributes:
- Intents are the contact reasons Gorgias detects on a ticket. They are hierarchical, so a ticket carries a top-level intent and can carry two further levels of detail beneath it. Tickets with no detected intent are grouped under No Assigned Intent.
- Tags are the labels your team and your rules apply to tickets.
- Ticket field values are the values of one ticket field you choose.
The report contains two types of charts to help you visualize your data. The first chart ranks values from most to least used on a bar chart, and the second graphs volume over time on a trend chart, stacked by value. The following attributes can be displayed in each chart:

Compare performance in the breakdown table
The Performance breakdown table at the bottom of the Ticket attributes report allows you to see how each value contributes to your overall ticket volume. You can use the buttons at the top of the table to switch between three breakdowns:
Intents shows the three intent levels side by side, so you can see not just that "Returns" is your biggest reason, but which specific return problem drives it:
Tags compares volume per tag:
Ticket field values compares volume per value of the ticket field you selected in the Ticket Field filter:

FAQ
Why is the Ticket field values option missing from the chart?
Because no ticket field is selected. Pick one in the Ticket Field filter at the top of the page and the option appears in both charts and in the Ticket field values table.
What does "No Assigned Intent" mean?
Those are tickets where no intent was detected. A large share usually means a lot of your volume arrives through channels or in formats where intent detection didn't apply, so treat the rest of the intent distribution as a sample rather than the whole picture.
Why do the shares in a table add up to more than 100%?
A ticket can carry more than one tag, so tag shares can overlap. Intent levels don't overlap in the same way, because each ticket carries one intent path.
