Why Does Zendesk Report Data Change Over Time?

Learn why your Zendesk report data changes over time due to ticket updates and SLA rules.

Why does my Zendesk report data change over time?

Your Zendesk report data may change over time due to updates in ticket statuses. When tickets are solved, reopened, or receive new interactions, these changes can affect historical data. For instance, if a ticket is reopened and resolved again, it alters the number of solved tickets and the resolution time in your reports.

Additionally, the first reply time in SLAs only starts when a ticket gets its first public comment from an end user, which can also lead to changes in your report data. To learn more about how SLAs and first reply time work, you can check out theZendesk SLAs and first reply time article.
