Understanding How On Hold Tickets Impact Reports
Metrics/KPIs
For reports involving ticket metrics and KPIs, on hold tickets will be included in the results. This impacts both the operational and absolute versions of each ticketing metric or KPI.
Changing a ticket from in process status, to on hold will update the date and time registered in the ticket's Responded field when the ticket drops off hold again into the in process status. The new value will be the date and time that the ticket dropped off hold and back into an Open/In Process status class.
Similarly, when a ticket that was previously in a completed status is placed on hold and comes back off hold to the completed status again, the ticket's Responded date/time and Resolved date/time are both updated.
Depending on the report you're creating, consider using the initial respond and initial resolve versions of the metrics and KPIs.
Time Entry Data
Reports including time entry data will include tickets which are on hold.
