Impact of Time Tracking App on Ticket Handling Time

Discover how the Time Tracking app influences ticket handling time in Zendesk. Learn why handling time may appear longer.

How does the Time Tracking app affect ticket handling time?

The Time Tracking app affects ticket handling time by starting the timer when an agent opens a ticket. This means that the handling time is calculated from the moment an agent manually opens the ticket, not from when the ticket was created. This can result in a handling time that seems longer than the Full resolution time, especially if the ticket is solved quickly on the first interaction. For instance, if a ticket is opened and solved within a few minutes, the handling time will reflect the duration the ticket was open, which might be longer than the actual resolution time.
