This report generates a column chart that displays information about the time that requests remained in the problem state (reports that had Problem, Hold, or Canceled statuses) for each user. This report also provides  information about minimum, maximum, and average time when requests were in the problem state.

By default, the report displays information for all users in the database and all their requests that can be accessed by the current user.

5.0.03.005 AND EARLIER  You can save the report as a .png.jpg, or .pdf file. To do this, right-click the report and select the appropriate option.
