<strong>Logic change for the Public by default setting</strong>. For tickets that have internal notes only, the composer will automatically default to internal notes, even if the <strong>Public by default</strong> setting is turned on.

<strong>Dashboard restrictions now support all default and custom historical attributes.</strong> These additional attributes are static, meaning they don’t dynamically change a dashboard’s data based on the viewer. This change gives you greater flexibility in creating dashboards that are tailored for your teams and require less administrative overhead. See <a href="https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/5282695803290">Dynamically adapting dashboard data based on viewer</a>.<img alt="" src="https://zen-marketing-documentation.s3.amazonaws.com/docs/en/explore_dashboard_restrictions_details.png" style="border: 1px solid #ddd; border-radius: 4px; padding: 5px;">

<strong>A new live omnichannel custom queues reporting component</strong> lets you create a dashboard that displays live data on how work is being routed through your custom queues. This gives you an instant overview of your queues, helping you understand the volume of work awaiting available agents and the average time work items spend in each queue. See <a href="https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/7217081202714">Explore recipe: Reporting on custom omnichannel queue performance</a>.<img alt="" src="https://zen-marketing-documentation.s3.amazonaws.com/docs/en/explore_queues_live_reporting.png" style="border: 1px solid #ddd; border-radius: 4px; padding: 5px;" width="850">

<strong>On August 13, 2024, incorrectly configured Explore formulas of standard calculated metrics and attributes will no longer return any results</strong> unless they are corrected by users. If your account has calculation formulas that are incorrectly configured, you will now see reports and dashboards listed in the new Updates required category in your reports and dashboard libraries.

<strong>The Generative AI agent tools dataset and its associated prebuilt dashboard</strong> let admins drill into agent use of <a href="https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/5608712782362">generative AI agent ticket tools</a> (including summarize, expand, and tone shift). Using this information, admins can correlate the impact of these tools on common metrics such as resolution time, CSAT, requester wait time, and more.
