Hi all 

I am working on some reporting and while building the reports I also created a view to see if the figures matched to give me an idea if I was on the right track with the report configuration. 

However, They do not match. 

I have this view which gives a total of 1113 tickets raised in the previous month:

However, this report totals as 998

Can anyone advise what I am doing wrong or why the numbers differ please?

You are comparing a view of data that is automatically filtered by, amongst other things, the Hornbill Security model to the User who is currently signed in to a Report of the raw data, and the Report has additional filters to the View you've created (Request Types)

 

Comparing a Request List View to a Report will at best only ever be a guide, they are designed for different uses and you do not have full control over the data available to a View where you do for a Report.

Thank you for your reply. 

I am logged into the master Admin account when running the report and viewing the view. So there should not be any differences in regards to permissions etc, unless I am not understanding what you are referring to. 

I have also amended the report to remove the filters, so it just has the date logged between start and end of last month and where the category is not 203 (which is the category for the Category Is Not filter in the view and I still get the same result as when I had the additional filters in the report:

I'd expect a slight difference in numbers between the view and the report but 115 is quite a big difference. 

I have exported the results of the view and compared them with the results of the report (amended so it shows a list with the reference numbers) and there are legitimate tickets that show on the view that are not showing on the report. Although, it seems to be Incidents that this is occurring. The Service Requests match on both the report and view. 

 I have also tried amending the report to just report on the Incidents report entity rather than Requests and I get the same differing results too. 

We only use Incidents and Requests so would not expect any other Report Entity's to be involved anywhere.

Can you list one or more examples of requests that show in the view but not in the report? (obfuscate or remove any PII data if you post them here)

The following tickets show on the VIEW (of tickets resolved last month) but not when you run the report (of tickets resolved last month):

To follow up on our private conversation, the reason the report is showing fewer results is that the report has this criterion: ''Category ID is not 203". In reports, the returned results will include all records where the category ID has a value, but that value is not 203, and will exclude records where the category ID was not set (i.e., value is NULL). To include these records in the returned results for the reports, the criteria need to be expanded to include: "Category ID is not 203" OR "Category ID is NULL".

yep, thanks Victor. I can confirm that the change to the report to add Category was not set resolved this issue. 

I have also made my agents go back and set categories for their tickets too (mean i know, but they should have been doing it anyway! :)) but have also added it to the process for any new tickets. So we should be sorted! 

 

Thanks so much for you help with this!
