Time to response
Asked by Stefannie Tan:

Is there a way to get the "time to response" in JSM?

I tried using the reports with the pre-set SLAs that my coworkers have set up, but the reports keep returning a 0 response time.

is it because the tickets get resolved within the SLA?

I'm still new to JSM so I'm a bit confused overall. Really need any advice anyone here can give me.

Thanks!

In the attached article below, it is defined how you can achieve this report.

JSM does not natively support "Time to Response" for resolved issues. Therefore, using third-party apps is the most straightforward solution. [@Vijay Dadi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5408989) has suggested an article that utilizes the Report Builder app to get response timings. As the Product Owner of Report Builder, I am happy to complement that "First Time Response" report has significantly improved since the moment of the article creation, so probably it will fit your demand.

You may find detailed explanation of the report by this link <https://actonic.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ARB/pages/6914048555/First+Reply+or+Response+Time+%28FRT%29+Report+How-To>

As an alternative, you may investigate a possibility of creating a custom field for first time response and populating it based on some automation triggers during the issue lifecycle.

body: Hi,

as already suggested, JSM does not natively support *Time to Response* for resolved issues.

If you are open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, this would now be easy to solve using the app that my team and I are working on, [JXL for Jira](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1224710?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=atlassian-community&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=2679232).

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you'd do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a long list of so-called *history columns* that aren't natively available, including *time to response, time in \[status\], time between \[status\] and \[status\],*and many, many more.

All these history columns are calculated based on the issue's history at a given point in time, meaning that the data is available for all issues retrospectively, regardless of whether an SLA has been defined or not.

This is how it looks in action:

![time-to-first-response.gif](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/328287i053B8268CE70523B/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "time-to-first-response.gif")

As you can see above, you can easily sort and filter by your history columns, and also use them across JXL's advanced features, such as support for (configurable) *issue hierarchies* , *issue grouping* by any issue field(s), *sum-ups* , or *conditional formatting*.

Of course, you can also export your sheet to XLSX or CSV in just one click.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes

You can use Jira Rest API's to pull this data. Or as an alternate if your fin to try out mktplace app, take a look at

As far as I know Jira doesn't have a built-in solution for the report you mentioned. If you prefer using a marketplace app, you can try [Status Time Reports](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/1221826) app developed by our team. It mainly provides reports and gadgets based on how much time passed in each status.

For further details, you can have a look at [Status Time Reports How to Videos.](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVHoaAkoFPJnG9nLkzcxG0P00ndQgimDs)

If you are looking for a **completely** **free** solution, you can try the limited version [Status Time Reports Free](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1222051).

Hello! To be honest, we're on a tight budget, so unfortunately we are unable to pay for any new third-party apps. (also, considering how atlassian charges on a per-user basis, the costs balloons so easily).

Is it possible to get the figures I need with your free solution? Anyway, i'll schedule a demo.


author: Mehmet A _Bloompeak_
body: Hi [@Stefannie Tan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4512943) ,

Yes, you can get it with [Status Time Reports Free](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1222051).

Have also a look over this article:

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/App-Central/An-effective-dashboard-for-Service-Desk-and-Customer-Support/ba-p/2360369>

If the issues goes in a specific status (like Waiting Customer) after the response has been given, then you can easily measure it with our [Great Gadgets](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=stonikbyte%20great%20gadgets%20agile) app and then display it on your Jira dashboard in various forms: Control Chart, Trend Chart or Histogram Chart.

See sections #3 and #4 in the article I gave you.

body: Update on May 9th, 2024: Time in Status by OBSS was recently rebranded as [Timepiece](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211756/). It is still the same capable app with the same dedicated team behind it. The answer below mentions the app as "[Time in Status](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211756/)" but you can find the app in the marketplace as "[Timepiece (formerly Time in Status)](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211756/)".

Hello [@Stefannie Tan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4512943) ,

Unfortunately, SLAs do not work retroactively on resolved issues. This is the way Atlassian has set up the SLA mechanism in JSM. Therefore, if you want to see time-to-response values retrospectively, you will need to use third-party marketplace applications that process issue histories and return reports.

[Time in Status](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211756/time-in-status?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=community&utm_medium=answer) which is developed by my team at OBSS, has a report type that will meet your need. Our app is available for both Jira Cloud, and Data Center.

Time in Status mainly allows you to see how much time each issue spent on each **status** or each **assignee** .

**Status Duration** report (please see the screenshot above) which shows how much time each issue spent on each status. You can combine the time for multiple statuses to get metrics like **Time to Response ( Response Time),** **Issue Age, Cycle Time, Lead Time, Resolution Time** etc.

![Status Duration Report in Detail.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/320227iCC9234B71001435A/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Status Duration Report in Detail.png")

For all numeric report types, you can calculate **averages** and **sums** of those durations grouped by the issue fields you select. For example total in-progress time per *customer*or average resolution time per sprint, week, month, issuetype, request type, etc. The ability to group by parts of dates (year, month, week, day, hour) or sprints is particularly useful here since it allows you to compare different time periods or see the trend.

![Group By Created Month.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/313492iD183806A3D4BD05C/image-dimensions/500x169?v=v2 "Group By Created Month.png")

The app calculates its reports using already existing Jira issue histories so when you install the app, you don't need to add anything to your issue workflows and you can get reports on your past issues as well.

Time in Status reports can be accessed through **its own reporting page, dashboard gadgets, and issue view screen tabs** . All these options can provide both calculated data tables and charts. And the app has a **REST****API** so you can get the reports from Jira UI or via REST. Also you can export the reports in to various formats easily.

Visit [Time in Status](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211756/time-in-status?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=community&utm_medium=answer) to explore how our JIRA add-on can revolutionize your metrics measurement process. Enjoy **a 30-day free trial** to experience the full range of features.

If you wish, you can also [schedule a live demo.](https://calendar.app.google/faQYgsEekRdFxnPj7) We will provide a comprehensive overview of the application and address any inquiries you may have.

Hope it helps,

Gizem
