Support Queue and Response-Time Report

A report that shows open support items, how long they have waited, and first-response time so the queue is measured instead of just felt.

Problem

The operating gap

The support queue feels slow but nobody can prove it: there is no view of how many items are open, how old the oldest is, or how long first response actually takes — so 'are we keeping up?' is unanswerable.

Build

What gets built

A read-only report that computes queue depth, oldest-waiting age, and first-response and resolution times from existing ticket/request timestamps, bucketed by day and by status. It reads the timestamps that already exist and turns them into the response-time numbers the team has been guessing at.

Build steps

How it ships

Support Queue and Response-Time Report uses a reporting model and review layer for Dashboards. A report that shows open support items, how long they have waited, and first-response time so the queue is measured instead of just felt. The architecture connects identify the request, supabase postgres, sql view, and dashboard action with an explicit control path.

  1. 01Identify the request timestamps available (created, first-response, resolved) and agree the metric definitions.
  2. 02Define the response-time window and which statuses count as 'open' in the queue.
  3. 03Build a view computing queue depth, oldest-open age, first-response time, and resolution time.
  4. 04Render a report with current queue depth, a response-time trend, and an oldest-open list.
  5. 05Flag items missing a first-response timestamp so gaps are visible rather than averaged away.
  6. 06Document the metric definitions so response-time numbers stay comparable over time.
