How to use the Query Builder for Freshdesk (Tickets)
Pro Tip: Among predefined Dimensions, you are also able to choose Custom Fields set within your Freshdesk account.
Pro Tip: Add the word "by" in between the Metric and Dimension in order to determine an appropriate Custom Metric Name. From the Metric and Dimension examples outlined above, we could create the Custom Metrics "Open Tickets by Priority," "Resolved Tickets by Tag," or "On Hold Tickets by Severity."
If the data synced from the Metric and Dimension fields meet the Filter specifications, the data is retained and included in the Custom Metric value. If the data synced from the Metric and Dimension fields don't meet the Filter specifications, the data is excluded from the Custom Metric value.
Pro Tip : If you don't know which Filters to put in place for your use case, use the Dimension + Data Preview to troubleshoot and get more insight into the data that is returned from your Freshdesk Account for each field. Learn more here.
Custom Metric Name: Enter a name for your Custom Metric. This Custom Metric name will be available in the Designer after saving.

Additional Information
- Due to an API limitation, the maximum number of tickets for which data can be retrieved with Attributed Metrics is limited to 5,000.
- The Data Preview is limited to display a maximum of 20 Dimensions per Date Range for Attributed Metrics. Dimensions will be sorted by descending value; therefore, the 20 Dimensions with the highest total values will be displayed in the Data Preview for each Date Range.
