Reporting¶

Reports in Odoo Helpdesk provide the opportunity to manage employee workloads, identify areas for improvement, and confirm if customer expectations are being met.

Available reports¶

Details about the reports available in Odoo Helpdesk can be found below. To view the different reports, go to Helpdesk app ‣ Reporting, and select one of the following: Tickets Analysis, SLA Status Analysis, or Customer Ratings.

Tickets Analysis¶

The Tickets Analysis report (Helpdesk app ‣ Reporting ‣ Tickets Analysis) provides an overview of every customer support ticket in the database.

This report is useful for identifying where teams are spending the most time, and helps determine if there is an uneven workload distribution among the support staff. The default report counts the number of tickets per team and groups them by stage.

Alternative measures can be selected to track where the most time is spent at different points in the workflow. To change the measures used for the report that is currently displayed, or to add more, click the Measures button, and select one or more options from the drop-down menu:

• Average Hours to Respond: average number of working hours between a message sent from the customer and the response from the support team. This does not include messages sent when the ticket was in a folded stage.

• Hours Open: number of hours between the date the ticket was created and the closed date. If there is no closed date on the ticket, the current date is used. This measure is not specific to working hours.

• Hours Spent: number of Timesheet hours logged on a ticket. This measure is only available if Timesheets are enabled on a team, and the current user has the access rights to view them.

• Hours to Assign: number of working hours between the date the ticket was created and when it was assigned to a team member.

• Hours to Close: number of working hours between the date the ticket was created and the date it was closed.

• Hours to First Response: number of working hours between the date the ticket was received and the date on which the first message was sent. This does not include email sent automatically when a ticket reaches a stage.

• Hours until SLA Deadline: number of working hours remaining to reach the last SLA deadline on a ticket.

• Rating (/5): number out of five to represent customer feedback (Dissatisfied = 1, Okay/Neutral = 3, Satisfied = 5).

• Remaining Hours on SO: hours remaining on a linked sales order.

• Count: number of tickets in total.

SLA Status Analysis¶

The SLA Status Analysis report (Helpdesk app ‣ Reporting ‣ SLA Status Analysis) analyzes the performance of individual SLA (Service Level Agreement) policies.

By default, this report is filtered to show the number of SLAs failed, in progress, and the number that have been successful. The results are grouped by teams.

To change the measures used for the report that is currently displayed, or to add more, click the Measures button, and select one or more options from the drop-down menu:

• Number of SLA Failed: number of tickets that have failed at least one SLA.

• Rating (/5): number value representing customer feedback (Dissatisfied = 1, Okay/Neutral = 3, Satisfied = 5).

• Remaining Hours on SO: hours remaining on a linked sales order.

• Working Hours to Assign: number of working hours between the date the ticket was created and when it was assigned to a team member.

• Working Hours to Close: number of working hours between the date the ticket was created and the date it was closed.

• Working Hours to Reach SLA: number of working hours between the date the ticket was created and the date the SLA was satisfied.

• Count: number of tickets in total.

Customer Ratings¶

The Customer Ratings report (Helpdesk app‣ Reporting ‣ Customer Ratings) displays an overview of the ratings received on individual support tickets, as well as any additional comments submitted with the rating.

Click on an individual rating to see additional details about the rating submitted by the customer, including a link to the original ticket.

The Customer Ratings report is displayed in a Kanban view by default, but can also be displayed in graph, list, or pivot view.

View and filter options¶

On any Odoo report, the view and filter options vary, depending on what data is being analyzed, measured, and grouped. See below for additional information on the available views for the Helpdesk reports.

Pivot view¶

The pivot view presents data in an interactive manner. All three Helpdesk reports are available in pivot view.

The pivot view can be accessed on any report by selecting the (pivot) icon at the top-right of the screen.

To add a group to a row or column to the pivot view, click the (plus) icon next to Total, and then select one of the groups. To remove one, click the (minus) icon, and de-select the appropriate option.

Graph view¶

The graph view presents data in either a bar, line, or pie chart.

Switch to the graph view by selecting the (area chart) icon at the top-right of the screen. To switch between the different charts, select the related icon at the top-left of the chart, while in graph view.
