What is a Life Cycle report?

Life cycle reports show the time distribution of tickets across various statuses in your account. The time duration that each ticket was present in a specific status is presented here.

Available plans: ❌ Mighty ❌ Fantastic ✔️ Enterprise ✔️ Enterprise Plus

If required, life cycle reports also consider work schedule based time and exclude non-work hours and holidays from the time shown in the report. The report is only available as an Excel/CSV download.

How can I create a life cycle report?

• Go to module switcher ( Top left corner) and go to Reports >> Life Cycle Reports.
• Click on the Add a new Life Cycle report.

• Provide a name for the report.
• Choose a work schedule from the drop-down which shows the Work schedules available on your account. Once this is chosen, the start and end times of the work days will be considered for the report accordingly and the holidays added will also be considered while the report is built.
• You can choose to base this life-cycle report on 3 parameters - Status, Assignee or Category.

Status: Shows time spent on tickets moving across various statuses.

Assignee: Shows time spent on tickets across staff members assigned to the tickets.

Category: Shows time spent on tickets in each category that the ticket has been moved across.

• The categories from which the tickets should be pulled. We recommend creating these reports for one category at a time such that the reports can be re-used every month.
• Save the report.
