Do you know which tickets are currently in progress? Who are they assigned to, and how long have these tickets been open? Can you guarantee that no escalated requests are older than, for example, two days? And can you quickly map all these issues into a single report?

You can.

Reporting made easy: This is what “Open Tickets Backlog by Status and Days” can do

This report does what the name promises: it shows you open tickets from the backlog, arranges them by days and persons working on them. The times when you had to rummage through the queue to see which person in your team is fully utilized and which could still use issue are now over. With this heatmap, you’ll manage to get an ideal overview in no time.

These ticket statuses are displayed:

  • To Do

  • Done
