Question
Why is the sum of SLA tickets in my report different from the sum of Achieved, Breached, and Active SLA tickets?
Answer
The sum of Achieved, Breached and Active SLA tickets is different from SLA tickets sum because the calculation for each metric is different. The SLA tickets metric counts tickets if an SLA target is present on a ticket while Achieved, Breached, and Active SLA tickets metric counts the tickets based on the status of the SLA target.
A ticket can have multiple targets applied to it that are active, breached, and achieved simultaneously. For example, a ticket has a first reply target that was breached and an agent response time target that is currently active. SLA tickets metric counts this as one while Breached SLA tickets, as well as Active SLA tickets, counts this as one each.
