Every support organization is obsessed with studying analytics to make sure it is efficient and actually helps the user. The Support.com platform keeps statistical data that you can export in a spreadsheet to pore over and include in your calculations.

What is a Data Export Job?

A Data Export Job is the process that pulls analytics data from a database view you choose into a CSV file for you to download and use outside of Support.com. You can get to this tool through the Data Export>Data Export Job screen in the application, and it is also available programmatically via the API. This feature must be configured for you before you can use it. Contact help@support.com to have this feature activated in your account.

  1. Log in to your Support.com account.
  2. Select Analytics in the Navigator bar at the top of the screen.
