The Technician Comparison Report

This report shows the following information:

Summary & Comparison

This section of the report displays summary and comparison information:

• Assigned: The number of tickets assigned to the technician during the selected time period.
• Closed: The number of tickets closed by the technician during the selected time period.
• Reopened: The number of tickets reopened by the technician during the selected time period.
• Average Close Time: The average time it took the technician to close tickets assigned to them during the selected time period.
• Average First Response: The average time it took the technician to first respond to tickets assigned to them during the selected time period.
• Average Work Time per Ticket: The average time spent working on a ticket by the technician during the selected time period.
  Note: Average Work Time Per Ticket is calculated by dividing the total time worked on a ticket by the number of time entries added to the ticket, and taking the sum of the results and dividing by the number of tickets in the time period.
  For example, you spent 10 hours working on Ticket A with 5 time entries and 20 hours working on Ticket B with 2 time entries. Dividing the total time worked on each ticket by their respective time entries means we'll get 10/5 = 2 (for Ticket A) and 20/2 = 10 (for Ticket B). Then we take the sum and divide by the number of tickets in the time period.
  Therefore, the Average Work Time Per Ticket is 12/2 = 6 hours
• Rating: The score is generated based on the satisfaction survey filled out by end users once tickets are resolved/closed.
