Response Time Report

The Response Time Report in Zoho Desk tracks FRT and resolution times by agent and team, identifying where SLA commitments are being met or missed.

The Response Time Report in Zoho Desk tracks how quickly agents respond to and resolve tickets over a selected period. It shows average first response times, resolution times, and SLA compliance rates across agents, teams, and departments.

What the Report Measures

The Response Time Report captures: average first response time by agent and team, percentage of tickets meeting FRT SLA, average resolution time, and percentage of tickets resolved within SLA. Data can be filtered by date, department, ticket type, or priority.

Identifying Response Bottlenecks

The report surfaces which ticket categories, departments, or shifts have the slowest response times. If Tuesday afternoons consistently show higher response times, the team may need additional coverage during that window.

Using the Report for SLA Negotiation

Response Time Report data informs SLA negotiations with customers or management. If the team consistently meets a 2-hour FRT, it may be time to formalise that commitment. If a category consistently breaches, the SLA target may need adjustment or process improvement.

Example: A cloud services company uses the Response Time Report to identify that phone-channel tickets have a 45-minute average FRT, while email tickets average 2.5 hours. They realise email tickets are not being picked up promptly and adjust assignment rules to prioritise unattended email tickets.
