Your metrics are the foundation of every AI output Forepost generates. The Daily Brief, Board Pack, and AI Business Case all draw on the ticket volume, CSAT, response time, deflection rate, and utilisation figures you enter in Settings. Stale numbers produce generic insights — up-to-date numbers give you a Brief that reflects what’s actually happening in your queue right now.

How to update your metrics

1

Open Settings

Click ⚙ Settings in the left sidebar. The Settings page opens with three sections: Workspace, Update metrics, and Update team.
2

Fill in the metric fields

Scroll to the Update metrics section. Enter current values in the fields that have changed since your last update. You don’t need to fill every field on every visit — update the ones that have new data.
3

Save your changes

Click Save changes at the bottom of the page. A ✓ Saved confirmation appears when your data has been stored successfully.
Changes only persist after you click Save changes. If you navigate away from the page before saving, your edits will be lost.
Update your metrics once a week — ideally at the start of each week after pulling your numbers from your support platform. The Daily Brief and Board Pack use whatever figures you’ve entered, so fresher data means more accurate and actionable insights.
