What is the Custom Report Builder in volbor?
The volbor Report Builder combines a catalog of prebuilt support, routing, and sales reports with the flexibility to duplicate views or create custom queries using volbor QL. Analyze historical periods, interactive tables, and metric cards directly in the platform—without needing an external BI system.
Why do I need a Report Builder if standard analytics are already included?
Standard dashboards show high-level operational health. The Report Builder is designed for granular analysis: custom groupings, compound filter logic, and deep links to share specific datasets with teammates. One workspace, two distinct objectives.
How do custom queries work?
You select what metrics to calculate, how to group dimensions, and what conditions to filter by. It uses volbor QL—an intuitive query language, not database SQL. You can open any prebuilt report, clone and edit it, or write a new query from scratch if no catalog template fits.
How do I create a new report?
Open the Reports section in your dashboard. Select the closest template from the catalog or click create new. Set your date range, apply optional queue, pipeline, or product filters, save your report, and copy the shareable link.
Do I need SQL to build custom reports?
No SQL is required. Queries are constructed using volbor QL: choose the dataset source, fields to display, and matching criteria. It reads like a logical business rule, not developer code.
Can I create reports from scratch, or duplicate existing ones?
Both workflows are fully supported. For standard questions, use prebuilt reports. If a template is close, duplicate it and adjust columns. If you need a unique view, write a custom query and save it to your library.
How do I share a report with a colleague?
Simply copy the URL and send it to your team. Date ranges, time zones, and active filters are encoded in the link, ensuring your colleague sees the exact same interactive data slice—not an outdated static export.
Which prebuilt reports are included in the catalog?
The catalog includes: conversation overview, conversations by queue, agent, and channel, wait times and first response time (FRT), SLA compliance, routing operations, sales overview, lead-to-deal conversion, win rate and lost reasons, pipeline forecasts, stage duration, and product performance.
How does the Report Builder differ from the analytics dashboard?
The dashboard provides an executive overview of core KPIs with jump links to deeper views. The Report Builder allows you to work inside the data: duplicate templates, author queries, change timeframes, and share custom URLs. They are two complementary tools, not redundant views.
Analytics DashboardIs this the same as contact segments?
No. Contact segments group individual customers for targeted broadcasts and outbound flows. The Report Builder aggregates operational metrics across conversations, queues, and deal pipelines. They serve completely different purposes.
Can reports be exported?
Yes. Support and routing reports export as clean CSV/tabular data, while sales reports include relevant CRM deal attributes. Live deep links remain the fastest way to share interactive data without dealing with static files.
