% True One-touch Talk Tickets

Support - Tickets Calculated Metric

Shows the percentage of Talk tickets that were resolved in a single call without requiring a follow-up reply via webform.

Business value & use cases

In Explore, one touch Email tickets have VALUE(Agent replies) = 1, because the first public reply is the resolution.

For Voice, the call itself is the first "touch". No public reply is sent, so a true one touch Talk ticket has VALUE(Agent replies) = 0. Even though the agent resolved the issue during the call, Explore does not log a text reply.

This cannot be done in the Talk dataset, which only holds call level data. It must be created in the Support Tickets dataset, where ticket level metrics across all channels are available.

The percentage view helps managers understand what share of Talk volume is resolved completely in one call. A high result indicates strong efficiency and customer satisfaction, especially when viewed alongside the count metric True One-touch Talk Tickets itself.

Implementation steps

  1. Make sure the custom metric True One-touch Talk Tickets already exists.
  2. Go to Explore > Report Builder > Support - Tickets Dataset > Start Report.
  3. Select the Calculator icon for Calculations.
  4. Choose Standard calculated metric.
  5. Paste in the formula above.
  6. Validate and save.
  7. Important: add a filter (using the Filter button) for Ticket Channel = Voice, otherwise your denominator (Solved tickets) will include solved tickets across all channels.
  8. If you don't want to have to use a UI filter, use the Creating Your Own Metric with Hard-Coded Filter metric as a base to create a metric for solved Voice tickets and use that instead of Solved tickets.
  9. Add to reports or dashboards to see what proportion of Talk tickets are true one touch.
  10. Change the display format to Percentage.
