Open Tickets Age: See your open tickets at-a-glance
Hi everyone! For this week’s Gauges and Gadgets, we’ll be focusing on “Open Tickets Age”! See our gadget from last week.
Platform: ConnectWise On-premise.
Open Tickets Age
This gadget is a graphic bar chart that shows you the number of open tickets by status, location, business unit, board per whatever time you set the parameters to. For example if you set a parameter to “Over 3 weeks” it shows the open tickets that are older than that age for the previously set parameters (board, business unit, location etc)
Drilldown
Double click on a bar in the graphic chart to do a drilldown and see a sortable grid of the open tickets by the selected age bar. By clicking on the ticket number you will be directed to the ticket within ConnectWise.
