    How can we filter "Follow Up Tickets" from reporting in Explore?

    We were previously doing this in Insights by creating the following metric:  

    And then Filtering Follow Up Tickets from our Insights reporting as such: 

     

    How can we reproduce this metric for filtering follow up tickets from Explore reporting in the same way?

    Hi @...

    There is a special recipe and you can start from there https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034980553-Explore-recipe-Filtering-for-follow-up-tickets

    Not sure if you meant to link me to this very page, Andrei. But despite following these instructions I'm still unable to create a Follow Up Ticket metric I can use to filter Follow Up Tickets from my Reports in Explore.

    @... to filter follow up tickets in or out of a report you can create a standard calculated attribute with a formula like this. Then filter the report on that attribute. If you filter for only the value 0 you're excluding all tickets that are a followup

    IF ([Changes - Field name]="status" AND [Changes - Previous value]=NULL)
    AND [Update channel]="Closed Ticket"
    THEN 1
    ENDIF

    I've tried the original calculation and i get the below?  Also do the follow up tickets get excluded from the first time response SLA opportunities?

    Hi,

    I would like to know how many talk tickets are followed up by an email from the agent.

    How would I do that?

    Hi Liz,

    It's not possible via the default attributes in Explore, as the ticket channel data of the original ticket is not stored as a ticket property in the follow-up created. A workaround is to tag tickets created via a phone call, sms and voicemail. Since tags are copied over to follow-up tickets, you can filter your report by tags to see which follow-up tickets were created from Talk tickets.

    Another workaround, if your Talk tickets all retain the default text 'Phone Call from', 'Phone call to', 'Voicemail from', is to filter the report by keywords in the subject. If your Talk tickets contain those keywords, then follow-up tickets created from those will also contain the default text. You can create an attribute in Explore to find specific words in the subject, and use that as filter on your report on follow-up tickets.
     
    Hope this helps. Thanks Liz!

    Hi Sara,

    Did you create the exact same metric and report as shown in the recipe? I'll be creating a private ticket so that we can investigate further on this.

    I am getting the follow up ticket count more than expected where I have set the metric as follow-up tickets and attribute as Assignee name. I would like to get the list of follow-up tickets for that agent with in the timeframe.

    Hi Hari,

    I noticed that a ticket has already been submitted for this concern. For everyone's visibility, you have followed Explore recipe: Filtering for follow-up tickets and have added the attribute Assignee Name and removed "Follow Up" attribute to resolve it. 

    Cheers!

    Hey! Great article. Does anyone have a recipe on how I report on less than 5% of solved tickets resulted in follow up ticket within 14 days?

    Hello ,

    Is it possible to show follow-up(unclosed and unsolved) tickets on views?

    Hi Çağatay,
     
    You can refer to the following conditions to create a view for follow-up tickets.

    Tickets must meet all of these conditions to appear in the view
    • Status > Is not > Closed
     
    Tickets can meet any of these conditions to appear in the view
    • Channel > Is > Closed ticket



    Hope this helps!

    Thanks,
    Christine

    If I want to see the closed followup tickets that have a specific tag inherited on them, would I just replace the "Ticket ID" under "Rows" to "Ticket Tags" and select the tag I'm interested in, or would I need to mess with the Standard calculated metric for that? I ask because I'm wondering if I'd have to edit the Standard Calculated Metric to something like:
    IF [Update channel]="Closed Ticket"
    THEN [Ticket Tags] 
    ENDIF

    This is what I normally use. I also tested your formula and it should extract the same data compared to the query below.

    @Dane Thanks for taking a look!
    On the Metrics section, is that your custom query for follow-up tickets though? It just looks to me like it'd be pulling up any ticket created, when I am interested in the tags of follow-up tickets specifically. I have used the same standard calculated query in mine but just changed the column to the tag I wanted:

    IF [Update channel]="Closed Ticket" THEN [Ticket ID] ENDIF

    I'm having a hard time with Follow Up tickets. First, they appear on my Channels as "Web", but tickets that arrive as Web Forms also appear as Web.

    Second, those tickets should be counted as new tickets, considering the client is sending a new message (sometimes it is a follow-up of the latest conversation, sometimes it is not). However, for my SLA of First Reply, they are being counted as Breached, even though the agent answered this "new" ticket on time.

    Hi Mayra,

     

    By default, the channel of all follow-up tickets are "Closed tickets". I went ahead & created a ticket for you so we can look into your Follow-up Tickets further, along with checking the SLA for First Reply Time.
