In this recipe, you'll learn how to create a report that shows the number of times tickets were assigned from one group to another. For example, you could report how many tickets are being escalated from the Support group to the Sales group.
Tip:If you want to report on howmuch time a ticket spent in each group, seeExplore recipe: Reporting on the duration of fields。

Creating the report
To create the report
- In Zendesk Explore, click the reports (
) icon. - In the Reports library, clickNew report。
- On theSelect a datasetpage, clickSupport>Support - Updates history, then clickStart report。The report builder opens.
- Now, create aStandard calculated metricto show when tickets move from one group to another.From theCalculations(
)menu, clickStandard calculated metric。 - On theStandard calculated metricpage, enter or pastethe formula below into theFormulafield. Add a title for the metric likeTicket assigns from Support to Sales。
替换公式中的id和组idof the two groups you want to report about. To get the group IDs of your groups, make a GET request to subdomain.zendesk.com/api/v2/groups.json. Check out our documentationherefor more information.In the example below, the first group ID would be for 'Support' as the previous group and the second group ID would be for 'Sales' as the new group the ticket is assigned to.
The completed metric will look like the screenshot below:IF ([Changes - Field name] = "group_id" AND
[Changes - Previous value] = "36000000xxxx" AND
[Changes - New value] = "3600000xxxxx") THEN
[Update ID]
ENDIF
Tip:If you're working in a language other than English,read this articleto help you enter Explore formulas in your language. - When you are finished, clickSave。
- In theMetricspanel, clickAdd。
- From the list of metrics, chooseCalculated metrics>Ticket assigns from Support to Sales(the calculated metric you just created),then clickApply。
- Ensure the metric aggregator forTicket assigns from Support to Salesis set toCOUNT。For more information, seeChoosing metric aggregators。
- (Optional)Filter the report's results by dateby adding theTicket created - Dateattribute in theFilters面板。
Next steps
If you want to see the agents who are making the group update, you can add an attribute to show the agent's name.- In theRowspanel, clickAdd.
- From the list of attributes, chooseUpdater>Updater name, then clickApply。
- From theResult manipulation(
) page, click指标筛选。 - On the指标筛选page, set the metric filter so it only shows results greater than 0.
Your report is now complete. See the screenshot below for an example of how it might look.

+1 to Luis' comment above - I want a single list of transfers from all groups into a particular group in my instance so I can work out where the majority of work is coming from, however, to do so would require creating about 200 custom metrics, it would be great if there was an easy way to do this
Hi Team
When we use the T1 to T2 assignment time metric on our report it returns the values as per the ticket Closed date, and not for when the tickets were reassigned.
For example: Ticket xyz was reassigned from Tier 1 to Tier 2 on April 10th and then closed on April 12. If I extract a report for Ticket reassignments for April 10th, this ticket doesn't show up instead shows up for the April 12th timeline report when it was closed.
Is there a way to have the tickets show up as per the reassigned date?
What I'm thinking is it's possible you are using the attribute Tickets Solved - Date as part of your query. This will extract data depending on the date specified when it's set to Solved. The best option is to use Tickets Update - Dateattributeinstead.
Hi,
I am trying to create a report that counts tickets created in the original group A, before the ticket is updated in any other group.
Using the standard "Created" for groups, seems to track the last group when the ticket is updated.
If tickets are automatically assigned to a particular group at the same event of ticket creation, then you should be able to see the initial group assignment if you slice the Tickets created metric by the default attribute Update ticket group. Is this what you are looking to report on? That should show you how many tickets were assigned to the groups at the time they were submitted.
Is there a way to create a table counting all ticket reassignments from group to group? We are trying to better understand how tickets flow within our organization. We want to see all group reassignments, even if there are multiple for the same ticket.
I was able to get close using a standard calculated attribute in the Support: Updates History dataset. However, all of the groups show as ID numbers instead of group names. Is it possible to create a table like this with the group names instead of ID numbers? (I could not find a field for the group name.)
Standard Calculated Attribute:
Resulting Table:
If you have a metric that counts updates involvinggroup_id, then you can slice the data by Update ticket group. This should show you the destination group name (the group the ticket was assigned to after the update). But, if you also need to see the previous value, then you can slice your report by theChanges - Previous Valueand- New value(if your report counts the updates whereChanges - Field nameisgroup_id。Is this what you have came up with? To display the group names, you can build a separate calculated attribute orrenamed setsto display the group name instead of the id in your table.
Thank you for the response,@...。I am still unable to report with the group names. We need to see both the new and previous values together. The standard calculated attribute I shared in my previous post provides what we are looking for with the exception of showing group IDs instead of group names. How would I build a standard calculated attribute to display the group name?
Renamed sets are not an option. There is not an option to compute from Group ID.
HiJon Durlauf, you'd need to create somethinglike this, for example, only for group_id instead of assignee_id:
You should add a "CASE" value for each group in your account. Additionally, the example above is for thePrevious value。你应该添加一个类似的属性New value。
Thank you,Pedro Rodrigues。This worked!
I was hoping there was an existing field to do this rather than create case statements for all of our 100+ groups, but this gets us the information we need.
HI all,
I'm using :
and whilst it takes a while to run, it works... my question, how can I do this with YESTERDAY's date? Can I do some form of "Today()-1" or similar?
WHY?
well, I'm trying to have this display as a KPI with Today/Yesterday showing an increase/decrease. Which means I need two metrics, one for today, and one for yesterday, which means I can't (I don't think) use filters)
Have you tried usingthis函数?例子:
This condition is true for updates made yesterday.
Thanks Gab,
I'll try this asap!
Hi
Is there a way to count only tickets moved not a new group but solved in the previous group?
Can you provide more details on what data you are trying to capture in your report?
Hello,
Does this feature include group changes that were applied by triggers and not agents? I just created a new routing trigger that changes the group from our default to a special handling team and adds a tag to mark the change. I am attempting to create a report that shows tickets assigned to that group manually vs. from the trigger using the separate tags.
Thank you
If the reassignment trigger fires within the same event/update from an agent, then in Explore reports, the group reassignment will be attributed to the agent (i.e., the agent will be listed as Updater).
If the tag is unique and is only added to tickets via that group reassignment trigger (and isn't removed until the ticket is closed), then you may create a report to check which tickets were at one point reassigned to your special handling group and then create a metric/attribute to see which of those contain the unique tag.
Is it possible to get the Time spent of each group before sending it to another group? Like
Group 1 Group 2
Ticket ID 5 min 2 min
So on and so forth
Hi,
I'm trying to create a report that shows me the number of tickets that were assigned to a escalations queue and then reassigned by the escalations associate back to the original group it came from without solving. Mainly to be able to track how many "handled" escalations were completed by the escalations' specialist.
I follow this step but i want time in min when ticket is assigned from one group to another group, how can we write formula for that please help me anyone its critical for us
Group ID for our IT Service Desk is 360009977354. I'm trying to create a metric for all tickets that were changed from that group to any other group. I'm using this:
IF ([Changes - Field name] = "group_id"
AND [Changes - Previous value]= "360009977354"
AND [Changes - New value]!= "360009977354"
AND [Changes - New value]!= NULL)
THEN [Update ticket ID] ENDIF
What's weird is it's showing tickets that were were created in that group and literally never were assigned to a different group. They were assigned to that group from start to finish. Can anybody explain what I'm doing wrong here?
Chris Curlett
Could it be because you have the ID in both "Previous value" and "New value"?
I have a similar custom attribute set up (sonotas a metric, I use the attribute as a filter in the updates dataset, along with the 'D_COUNT(Updates)' metric) that looks like this:
I then use the "Update ticket group" in the rows or columns to see specifically which groups tickets were reassigned to.
