Configure Omnichannel Insights dashboards

Omnichannel for Customer Service offers a suite of capabilities that extend the power of Dynamics 365 Customer Service Enterprise to enable organizations to instantly connect and engage with their customers across digital messaging channels. An additional license is required to access Omnichannel for Customer Service. For more information, see the Dynamics 365 Customer Service pricing overview and Dynamics 365 Customer Service pricing plan pages.

Note

Microsoft Power BI template reports for Customer Service Analytics dashboards and Omnichannel Insights are deprecated as of November 6, 2023. We recommend that you use the out-of-box Omnichannel historical analytics and Customer Service historical analytics, which don’t need additional Microsoft Power BI licenses. You can visually customize and extend these reports to add additional data sources and metrics through data model customization. For details on the deprecation, go to Deprecations in Customer Service.

Customer service managers or supervisors are responsible for managing agents who work to resolve customer queries every day through various service channels. They need to know key operational metrics to ensure that their agents are providing quality support. Omnichannel Insights consists of channels and sentiment analysis dashboards that can help with this.

Important

The supervisor dashboards that are based on Power BI, such as Omnichannel Insights and sentiment analysis, aren't available on Government Community Cloud (GCC).

Customize Omnichannel Insights

Important

Microsoft does not support customizations made to the Power BI template app and does not provide updates after modifications are made.

Power BI is a comprehensive collection of services and tools that are used to visualize business data. The Power BI Template apps make it easy to visualize and analyze the Omnichannel Insights data with Power BI based on a standard data model.

The Omnichannel Insights template app is built with a set of entities and fields that are useful for most reporting scenarios. Dynamics 365 apps are often extended with custom fields. These custom fields don't automatically show up in the Power BI model.

The following shows you how edit and extend the report included in the template app to include custom fields in the Power BI model.

Before customizing the template app, read the following information and perform each task as necessary.
