Reporting glossary

Plan requirement

Subscription Suite Professional or higher, Explore Professional or higher
Access Agent

The terms Explore uses, in the sense it uses them. Several mean something narrower than they sound.

Building blocks

Dataset The body of data a report reads from. Chosen first, and it decides what is possible.
Metric What you count or measure. Tickets solved, first reply time.
Attribute How you group it. By agent, by month, by channel.
Aggregator How values are combined: sum, average, median, count.
Filter What is left out before anything is counted.

Time terms

First reply time From ticket creation to the first public reply from an agent.
Full resolution time From creation to the last time it was solved, reopenings included.
Requester wait time How long the customer spent waiting, rather than how long the ticket was open.
Business hours The same measures counted only within your schedule.

Three that mislead

Solved. A status a ticket can enter more than once. Counting solves is not counting tickets.

Resolution. In Explore it means the ticket was solved. In AI billing it means something stricter. The two will not match, and both are correct.

Updates. Every change to a ticket, including automated ones. It is not a count of agent replies.

Calendar or business hours

Most time metrics exist in both forms. Mixing them in one dashboard produces figures that cannot be compared, and nothing warns you.
