When pulling reporting on specific tickets types, we sometimes want information that was entered into custom fields on the originating Service Request.  However, those fields are not available either in the metrics filter or as columns on the resulting report.

This forces us to painstakingly open each ticket and manually pull that information into a report in stances where the manager asks something like “On our new hire requests, how many managers are indicating ‘yes’ for XYZ” where XYZ is a custom field we’ve built onto that request type.

It’s not just custom fields that are missing -- even some of the most important standard fields aren’t available.

For example, the ticket Type isn’t available in the Ticket timesheet summary report, and can’t be manually added in.

We had hoped to use that report to support billing our customers for chargeable work, but without the ticket Type it’s useless.

I hope the Freshdesk team will be able to correct this oversight soon.

This feature is already available. You can use custom fields in Analytics to report on, filter, and group by. Updating the status of this idea accordingly.
