What do I need to start measuring ticket handling time in Zendesk?

To start measuring ticket handling time in Zendesk, you'll need a few things set up. First, ensure you have Zendesk Explore Professional or Enterprise, and that you have Editor or Admin permissions.

Additionally, the Time Tracking app must be installed and configured, as it stores data in custom numeric fields synchronized with Explore. If the app was recently installed, data synchronization might not be complete, which could affect your ability to create calculated metrics.
