# View chat statistics

> In this how-to guide, you will learn how to view chat statistics both in a dashboard and on the Chat screen.

The chat statistics can be used to improve the overall communication and agents' performance, as well as shorten the response time. You can view them in the **Dashboard** tab in the **Chat** screen.

In addition to general statistics about chat sessions, you can monitor the following:

* How many people are waiting for an agent to respond.
* How long they have waited.
* How many agents are available.
* How many chat sessions are active.

By default statistics are shown for all available channels, but you can select a specific chat channel from the **Channel** list.

## Create a dashboard for chat conversation

You can visualize statistics from chat conversations in a dashboard to get an informative overview of the data. After you [create a dashboard][2], you can add and edit tiles.

### Examples - tiles you can add to your dashboard for chat conversations

* Use the **Agent with the best average rating this month tile** to see which agent that on average performed best that month. The tile can be used for motivation, or for internal competition.

* The **Chat conversations per month** tile let you keep track of how many chats your company receives each month.

* By adding the **Most busy hour** tile, you can learn what hour of the day most customers contact your chat agents throughout the year. The tile can also be modified to show other time-frames.

* With the **My average chat rating this month** tile you can follow the average rating score you receive from your customers. Use it as an indicator of how satisfied your customers are with your service, and as a motivation to improve or to keep doing the great work.
