Exclude Originating Comments in Zendesk Reports

Learn how to adjust your Zendesk Explore report to exclude originating ticket comments and focus on agent replies.

Why does my Zendesk Explore report include the originating ticket comment?

If your Zendesk Explore report includes the originating ticket comment, it might be due to the way the report is set up. The report should ideally focus on the first agent replies after the ticket is logged.

To address this, ensure your report's filters and calculations are correctly configured to exclude the initial customer comment. Adjusting the report settings can help you focus on the agent's first public reply, providing a clearer view of agent interactions.
