Pause ticket timer when a ticket is waiting on customer
The ticket status can be 'open' or 'closed', making the timer run or stop.
I want to be able to pause the timer, the timer should then stop when a ticket is in a 'pause' status to rule out the time a ticket is waiting on the customer.
open > timer counts the time a ticket is open
pause > timer stops counting until the ticket is in open or closed
This is a definite must have for us to have. Please could we put this into development as quickly as possible as it is impacting how we are able to report for our customers accurately.
@Hermen what field are you using as the "timer" field? i am trying to figure out a way to report on how long tickets have been open and a time would be great.
Good idea, we have this issue when waiting on customers to supply additional information. Having the ability to pause SLA during set stages is important.
This is definitely a feature that we also desperately need. Any updates on this?
And I don't see a response above with regards to what property was used as the "timer" field. Is there anything other than the "Time to close" property? We've tried to figure out a workaround by sending ticket to a "Waiting for customer" ticket status which actually marks them as closed temporarily, but when customer responds and the ticket is moved back to open for any period of time and then closed again, it will still calculate the "Time to close" from the original open date/time (which was the expected behavior from the current set up).
100% agree. We do a lot of waiting on the customer and being able to pause the timer when the ticket is in a "Pending"-type of status is critical in calculating time-to-close, and customer wait time vs agent wait time.
Upvoting this as this is a must for any helpdesk service, I'm really surprised this is not already a feature. I will be really happy to see this introduced. 🙂
Yes, most SLA tracking systems can specify to run SLA timers in certain statuses but not in others. This missing feature really limits its usefulness. As a product manager, I personally would not have considered the SLA feature complete without this function.
To share more about the current progress for it, feature requests for tools related to Service Hub took some time previously as there were several big roadblocks on the backend due to the complexity of stepping up Service Hub functionality on the backend.
That said, happy to inform you that the Product team (and the Product Manager in charge of this specific area in fact) has mentioned that they are aware of this specific request, and are currently in the works of scoping it for development as part of the push on improving Service Hub specifically for 2023 🙂
While the entire development process may take some time while the team scopes how to implement this, rest assured they have already logged this on their agenda for Service Hub this year 🙂
