    Indicators

    Number of open incidents
    Daily count of the number of incidents that do not have a resolution date. This indicator is used as the basis of several other indicators on this dashboard.
    Number of open incidents not updated in last 5 days
    Daily count of the number of incidents last updated more than five days ago.
    Number of open incidents not updated in last 30 days
    Daily count of the number of incidents last updated more than 30 days ago.
    Number of new incidents
    Daily count of the number of incidents opened 'today.'
    Number of resolved incidents
    Daily count of indicators with State = Resolved.
    Incident Backlog Growth
    Tracks the increase or decrease in open incidents. The score is calculated according to the formula [[Number of new incidents]] - [[Number of resolved incidents]].
    Average age of open incidents
    The average age in days in which an incident has been open. The score is calculated according to the formula [[Summed age of open incidents]]/([[Number of open incidents]]*24).
    % of new critical incidents
    The percentage of new incidents filtered on the Priority breakdown with the breakdown element 1 - Critical. The score is calculated according to the formula ( [[Number of new incidents > Priority = 1 - Critical]] / [[Number of new incidents]] ) * 100.
    Average resolution time of resolved incidents
    The average number of days it takes to resolve an incident, provided it is resolved. The score is calculated according to the formula [[Summed duration of resolved incidents]] / ([[Number of resolved incidents]] * 24).
    The following indicators are not shown directly on the dashboard but are used in calculating formulas:
    • Summed age of open incidents
    • Summed duration of resolved incidents
