Step 2: Understanding your call center Data Sources
Now that you’ve integrated HappyFox BI with Aircall, it’s time to discuss data sources. A data source is the data from your call center you want to report on in your dashboards. Data sources are required in order to populate your widgets with data. To know more about data sources, click the “Database” icon on your top bar. HappyFox BI currently imports three different types of call center data sources – Users, contacts, and call logs. Each data source is also marked by its data type. You can also choose to perform statistical analysis such as mean, variance, or standard deviation on select data types.
Step 3: Planning Your Dashboard Design
Dashboards visualize data sources into charts, graphs, and other visualizations called widgets. These widgets can be organized onto pages of the dashboard. From there, you can create unlimited dashboards, unlimited pages, and unlimited widgets for any call center reporting use-case.
Before finalizing your dashboard strategy and design, be sure to ask yourself the following questions.
- How many pages are too cluttered for a single dashboard?
- What type of visualizations should I use for a call center metric?
- Can a page get brimmed with widgets that a new page is preferable?
- How do I know if the widgets I want to add are necessary, or if there’s another way to organize my data?
That’s it. With a mind-map already prepared, you’re all set to get your hands on building beautiful visualizations.
Step 4: Building Your Dashboard
The goal of a dashboard is to keep it simple for the report viewer. You must cherry-pick your most import KPIs to showcase in prominent areas.
One way to narrow down your important KPIs is by deciding which ones are key and actionable. Important KPIs are ones that report viewers can analyze and get impacted. Visualizing these types of KPIs are important because onlookers will be inspired or motivated by the call center performance.

Also, consider what you want the outcome of the dashboard to be. To use an example from a call center quality department, if the goal is to call center performance, then the dashboard should primarily be dedicated to displaying your average call/wait times and showcase key metrics such as missed call reasons.
HappyFox BI has over 20+ prebuilt Aircall widget templates catering to different departments and functions to choose from. There curated report-wide templates for instant metric tracking and analysis. It is also important to note that these widgets are highly customizable and we’ll cover that in the subsequent section.
Step 5: Building Advanced Analytics and Cross-functional Reports.
For advanced analytics, you can create your own visualizations in HappyFox BI using the create visualization option. HappyFox supports deep statistical analysis graphs like Pareto, multi-axis, and segmentation. If you’re subscribed to other HappyFox BI offerings viz Wrike, HappyFox, etc. you can even mix and match call center data with project management or help desk data for cross-functional analysis.
Step 6: Sharing & Administering Users
Now that you’ve customized your dashboard, it’s time to share it with the appropriate stakeholders.
Different people in your company will have different things they are looking for in a dashboard. For example, an executive dashboard designed for your CXOs or your board will need to be easy to understand as they may not be familiar with working with dashboards on a daily basis and are not used to seeing data presented in this way.
For call center managers, a more detailed dashboard is expected with metrics on average wait times, average talk time, and individual widget drill-downs will be helpful.
With HappyFox BI, you can specifically set who gets access to which report through the reports customizations section.
