Impact of Multiple SLA Targets on Ticket Counts

Discover how multiple SLA targets can affect ticket counts in Zendesk, leading to discrepancies in reports.

How do multiple SLA targets affect ticket counts in Zendesk?

Multiple SLA targets can cause a single ticket to be counted multiple times across different metrics. This is because each target can have a different status, such as active, breached, or achieved.

For example, if a ticket has a breached first reply target and an active agent response time target, it will be counted once in the SLA tickets metric but will appear in both the Breached and Active SLA tickets metrics. This can lead to discrepancies in the total counts when comparing different SLA metrics.
