Calculation method

Calculation method

Unresolved ticket age buckets

For open/pending records count lower≤age<next lower; last bucket has no upper bound.

Oldest unresolved ticket IDs

Retain all ties at maximum unresolved age.

Oldest unresolved age (calendar days)

Audit date−creation date of the oldest unresolved record.

Unresolved tickets

Count open/pending records.

Closed tickets excluded

Count closed records, while still validating their dates and statuses.

Symbols and units
a
Tickets: ID, creation date, open/pending/closed
