We have introduced a new module called ‘Approvals’ in Freshservice Analytics. Now you can create metrics and reports on approvals and approvers associated with your Tickets and Changes.
The new Approvals module in Freshservice analytics is a quick and easy way to track and improve the total time taken for any approval and quicken the entire approval process. This will help to reduce the time taken to resolve the tickets and improve your service-desk metrics.
In the approval module, users can track the following metrics:
Total number of approvals in the system
Time taken to approve in Calendar hours (Average, Min, Max, Sum)
Elapsed time since Approval Pending in Calendar hours (Average, Min, Max, Sum)
Apart from these metrics, there are many attributes related to approvals and approver(s), which the users can use for filters and group-by to track the metrics at different levels.
How to create an Approval Widget:
To create a widget to measure and track approval metrics, users can:
Click on Edit and then +Add Widget option on the reports page to which you want to add the metric

Click on Apply and Save

At least one of the following conditions needs to be satisfied for the agent to view the approval's data in analytics:
