Report cookbook
Hours per Case
Total business hours from a Case's creation to now or to close, two ways.
From the Case metrics#
Every Case carries Sojourn Total Business Minutes: the business minutes it spent with finished owners, queues and users together. See Read the Case metrics.
- Create a report on the standard Cases report type.
- Add Sojourn Total Business Minutes, Sojourn Queue Business Minutes, and Sojourn Agent Business Minutes.
- For hours, add a summary formula: the sum of Sojourn Total Business Minutes divided by 60.
The time with the current owner is not in these totals until the owner changes; it is in Sojourn Owner Minutes while Live values run.
From the Intervals#
- Open Time in Status by Case and Save As. It opens on Cases created in the last 30 days; change the date range for older Cases.
- Remove the grouping by To Value, so each Case shows one line.
- Elapsed Business Hours summed per Case is the time in every status the Case has left. The current, open stay counts 0 until it ends; its time so far is Business Minutes To Date, kept by the Live values job.
Use one way per report: the two count the current stay differently.
