For example, if the number of tickets received on a particular day is too high, you can click on the corresponding 'tickets received' bar and find out if all the tickets were about one particular issue.
Please note that the tickets pulled up by clicking on the 'unresolved' bar might sometimes have 'Resolved' or 'Closed' tickets.
