The report shows information pertaining to requests in the mentioned time period under conditions such as Total requests, Pending Requests, Completed Requests and SLA Violated Requests. Based on parameters such as SLA, Technicians, Priority, Category, Site, Level, Type, Urgency, Impact, Mode and Status, the reports can be further scrutinized. These parameters can be viewed by clicking on the button.
For example,
If you need to know the number of requests that have violated the SLA, then click on "SLA" option. This shows number of violated/non-violated requests. For further information on the requests, click on the downward arrow and choose from one of the given parameters. Say, you need to know technicians handling the SLA violated requests, and then click on downward arrow and choose "Technician" from the drop down list. The technicians along with the number of requests handled by them are displayed in the next branch. Further if you want to know the priority of requests handled by a particular technician, then click on downward arrow next to the technician name and select "Priority". This displays the number of requests that have normal, high and low priorities.
If you click on the number that is displayed along with the report, the list of requests will be displayed in a new window. By clicking on the title of the request, you can view the request details in the space below. The request details cannot be edited/modified in this screen.
