BMC Helix ITSM Incident Aged Backlog Analysis dashboard


As a Service Desk Manager, you can use the Incident Aged Backlog Analysis dashboard to view metrics of all open incidents based on the following categories:

  • Incidents that are open for 0-5 days, 6-15 days, 16-30 days, or more than 30 days
  • Number of incidents based on their SLA status
  • Bar chart representation of the number of incidents based on their priority

Though this dashboard is similar to BMC-Helix-ITSM-Aging-Incident-Analysis-dashboard, we can view some important metrics of the open aging incidents based on their SLA status here. By keeping a track of these metrics, you can identify areas of improvement for service desk processes and take necessary actions on backlog aged incidents to resolve them. These actions keep the Service Desk KPIs on track.

Example: View metrics of all open aging incidents based on their SLA status and priority

Susan, the Service Desk Manager, wants to view the backlog of all the incidents that are open based on aging days, SLA status, and priority. Susan can access the Incident Aged Backlog Analysis dashboard to view and manage these aging incident backlogs by directly cross-launching to the incidents page with filtered data. She can and also print the data by using the print option.

By keeping track of these metrics, Susan takes the necessary action to clear the backlog incidents that could affect the Service Desk KPIs.
