What's the best way to correctly set up Helpshift Analytics?
While there are a lot of information being tracked in Helpshift, there are times where we only need to look into specific ones for reporting purposes. As an administrator, a way to filter the information more deeply is something that us in my industry will greatly appreciate. Are there some plans to improve analytics for business purposes?
Honestly, your Helpshift account manager is the best way to set up Analytics. They will set up a call and walk you through the process as well as make sure your unique company's views and analytics are set up to best service your needs. Schedule a call with them.
