Why are tickets being reopened and how can I reduce this?

Tickets are reopened when their status changes from Solved to Open, often indicating incomplete resolutions. Use the Tickets tab in the Zendesk Support dashboard to monitor reopened tickets. Create custom reports using the Tickets dataset to track the total number of reopens and their percentage.
