The problem

“You've set up custom fields to capture critical ticket data—but without proper reporting, that valuable information sits unused. Which custom field values are trending? How are tickets distributed across different categories? Without clear visibility, you're missing opportunities to spot patterns, optimize workflows, and improve team performance.”

Custom Fields Report enables you to view all statistics related to custom field usage in your help desk. With a quick glance, identify how often certain ticket or contact custom fields are being used and which values are most common.
