The Queues Report
Select Queues under the Reports heading in the portal sidebar to display the Queues Report.
Oversee all Queues Key KPIs
Initially each queue’s dashboard displays six KPIs. Refer to these KPIs, as the queue's Key KPIs. In this view you gain an overview of all your queues' Key KPIs at a glance.
As you will see in the section Show more KPIs below, it is possible to concentrate on one queue and view all available KPIs for that queue. This may partially obscure your view of other queues.
If one or more of your queues are expanded to show all their KPIs, and you want to retain your overview of all queues, use the Show less button to return to the core KPI view. See the section Show fewer KPIs below for details.
Adjust the zoom settings of your browser and if necessary zoom out to see all of your queues in one view.

KPIs and their associated data visualizations may change in appearance at and above a certain critical data value. An example is where a KPI is formatted in red to signal to a supervisor that the KPI requires their attention and intervention. The value at which this change in appearance occurs is the data threshold.
Further details about what the data threshold is, may be found in the Navigate and Control Reports and Dashboards section of the guide. This part of the guide concentrates on the layout and details of setting a data threshold for each KPI.
