Hi,

I have many incident templates. I need to create a report based on those template.

Please help me.

If there isn't a field tracking whether it was created from a template, is there a field populated by the template that you can use to identify it? For example, if the short description of any incident created by the template is "Login/Password Issue," you can try reporting on that.

Here, I used Explore Analytics to sort incidents into those what had the template's short description, and ones that didn't:

Then you can get a report like this:

Thank you gyedwab for you efforts. but we do have multiple templates with the different combinations. so only with the short description we will not be able to identify.
