I hope this doesn't sound like a stupid question, because we understand WHY it's happening, but it's something we've struggled with for some time now when trying to keep filters updated and cards accurate - it's been a very painful, time-consuming manual process thus far.
So, we add a dataset & card, and set filters for the specific department that we want to track, in this case a call center group. We import the data to be used in a dataset and update as best we can available fields to ensure all agents are included. Obviously, environments such as these tend to experience high turnover rates that result in new hires on a pretty frequent basis, as well as promotions from within to another department causing another issue with retaining historical data for the right department.
The main issue above that we'd like to see if a work-around exists for would be:
* a way to manually add an employees name for filtering purposes even when there is no data available? At this time, we udpate cards (MANY of them!) as a new employee begins to show up in reports, and we're able to do so in 70-80% of cards on the first attempt but always end up having to go back in several times over a period of weeks to ensure they've been added to all cards once they're included in other reports where they previously did not show up, i.e. late, called out/absence, specific status not previously used, etc.
Internally, development has started on a solution that should allow us to retain historical data by department and we're hopeful that it might even be able to address the issue above, but that's likely a ways off and figured it was worth asking in the event something could help limit the amount of manual updates to cards/filters that are needed at this time!
Thank you in advance for your time, and any information that might be helpful with this.
