Start with Explore

Building customer relationships requires access to relevant data. With Explore, you can get this vital info instantly so you can gain a deeper insight into your customers and business.
Starting Explore can take anywhere from minutes to hours, depending on the amount of information and tickets you have. During that time, Explore prepares your Zendesk data so it is ready for use.
When creating an Explore, you have the option of selecting dimensions and measures which determine what data will be visualized in your visualization. A dimension refers to a group or bucket of data while a measure provides information about that bucket. For instance, a query showing orders per day might select one dimension (ORDERS Created Date) and one measure (ORDERS Count).
In addition to the field picker, you can also add or remove fields from your Explore using the gear menu in the data table. Note: Pivoted dimensions cannot be altered using this menu; however, columns within a dimension group can be reordered by altering their sort order.
You can also hide certain categories of data from a pivoted visualization using the legend. Hiding categories will result in grayed out values in the legend, and any updated visualization will exclude those values.
