Note: This recipe works only in the Explore beta dashboard builder.
If you’ve created custom omnichannel queues, you can create a dashboard that shows you live data on how work is being routed through your queues. This gives you an at-a-glance view of your queues, helping you understand how much work is awaiting available agents and how long work items spend in each queue on average.
This dashboard includes data on your custom queues only, not on the standard omnichannel routing queue.

Creating the dashboard

In Explore, click the Dashboard icon ( ) in the left sidebar.
In the Dashboards library, click New dashboard > Use beta builder.
With Blank dashboard selected, click Select.
Click the plus icon (+) in the upper right and select Live data.
Search for and select Queues - List. The component is added to your dashboard and contains the latest supported live metrics for columns.
Click the plus icon (+) in the upper right and select Live filter. You can read about the available live filters in this article.

Resize and rearrange the components as desired.
Click the pencil icon ( ) in the upper left and give the dashboard a descriptive name, such as Custom omnichannel queue performance.
If you want to customize the table to show only selected columns you can remove or add columns by clicking the pencil icon ( ) and selecting column visibility. You can remove columns by deselecting the tags or by opening the Order drop-down list and deselecting columns you don't want. You can add columns by opening the Order drop-down and selecting the columns you want. The column displaying the name of the queue cannot be removed.
Click Save.

Share the dashboard as needed.

When finished, your dashboard should look something like the following screenshot:
