Recurring SLA violations are often a result of poor support processes, an inefficient vendor you are currently working with, a particular team or agent slacking off, and so on. With the Ticket Lifecycle Report, you now have an easy way to analyze these scenarios to determine the root cause of your support inefficiencies. 

 

This report helps in analyzing the Resolved/Closed tickets in your helpdesk for a specific time period and makes it easy for you to identify potential issues that caused delays in resolution.

For example, it gives you a clear picture of scenarios like multiple reassignments, escalations within the group or SLA violations that got triggered because of a change in the group.

Additionally, the ticket lifecycle report also shows you the percentage of time tickets spent at each stage while they were open, without requiring your team to add time entries or log work manually.
