Length

MF_ITTicket_ID

varchar(32)

Degenerate dimension housing the unique key for a given trouble ticket in a given help desk system. See MD_ITTicket_IssueTrackingSystem attribute for the generic name of the system. This also is a degenerate dimension.

 

MF_ITTicket_IssueTrackingSystem

nvarchar(64)

Name of system from which the MF_ITTicket_TicketID was extracted.

MF_ITTicket_ReportDate

int

Integer representation of the date (e.g., 20070101 for 1 Jan 2007). Defaults to 99991231, for situations where a date is required but none is available.

 

MF_ITTicket_ReportTime

int

Integer representing the time of day in the format HHMMSS (e.g., 23:01:01 at one minute one second after eleven o'clock in the evening). Not typically used for reporting.

Unlike MD_Date_Dateinteger (in MD_Date), this integer is not really human-readable, because it's not set up for base-10. Rather, it's calculated using the formula: (hour << 16) Or (min << 8) Or (sec), where the Or's are logical, and the << operator is a binary left shift.

 

MF_ITTicket_FirstResponseDate

int

Integer representation of the date (e.g., 20070101 for 1 Jan 2007). Defaults to 99991231, for situations where a date is required but none is available.

 

MF_ITTicket_FirstResponseTime

int

Integer representing the time of day in the format HHMMSS (e.g., 23:01:01 at one minute one second after eleven o'clock in the evening). Not typically used for reporting.

Unlike MD_Date_Dateinteger (in MD_Date), this integer is not really human-readable, because it's not set up for base-10. Rather, it's calculated using the formula: (hour << 16) Or (min << 8) Or (sec), where the Or's are logical, and the << operator is a binary left shift.

 

MF_ITTicket_WorkStartDate

int

Integer representation of the date (e.g., 20070101 for 1 Jan 2007). Defaults to 99991231, for situations where a date is required but none is available.

 

MF_ITTicket_WorkStartTime

int

Integer representing the time of day in the format HHMMSS (e.g., 23:01:01 at one minute one second after eleven o'clock in the evening). Not typically used for reporting.

Unlike MD_Date_Dateinteger (in MD_Date), this integer is not really human-readable, because it's not set up for base-10. Rather, it's calculated using the formula: (hour << 16) Or (min << 8) Or (sec), where the Or's are logical, and the << operator is a binary left shift.

 

MF_ITTicket_WorkEndDate

int

Integer representation of the date (e.g., 20070101 for 1 Jan 2007). Defaults to 99991231, for situations where a date is required but none is available.

 

MF_ITTicket_WorkEndTime

int

Integer representing the time of day in the format HHMMSS (e.g., 23:01:01 at one minute one second after eleven o'clock in the evening). Not typically used for reporting.

Unlike MD_Date_Dateinteger (in MD_Date), this integer is not really human-readable, because it's not set up for base-10. Rather, it's calculated using the formula: (hour << 16) Or (min << 8) Or (sec), where the Or's are logical, and the << operator is a binary left shift.

 

MF_ITTicket_CloseDate

int

Integer representation of the date (e.g., 20070101 for 1 Jan 2007). Defaults to 99991231, for situations where a date is required but none is available.

 

MF_ITTicket_CloseTime

int

Integer representing the time of day in the format HHMMSS (e.g., 23:01:01 at one minute one second after eleven o'clock in the evening). Not typically used for reporting.

Unlike MD_Date_Dateinteger (in MD_Date), this integer is not really human-readable, because it's not set up for base-10. Rather, it's calculated using the formula: (hour << 16) Or (min << 8) Or (sec), where the Or's are logical, and the << operator is a binary left shift.

 

MF_ITTicket_TicketTimeAsOfLastUpdate

int

Integer reflecting the amount of time a given ticket has been open as of the last update, in minutes.

Will be set to zero if a ticket has been deleted.

 

MF_ITTicket_ElapsedTime

int

Integer representing the amount of time elapsed, in minutes, between when a ticket was initially set up or reported (MD_ITTicket_ReportDate) and either now, or time ticket close datetime, whichever is less (earlier in time). If a ticket was deleted, it is marked as MF_ITTicket_IsDeleted = 'Yes', and this field is set to zero.

This figure is naturally current only as of the last time this fact table was updated.

The elapsed time does not take into account periods where a ticket is idling. For that, see MF_ITTicket_TicketTimeAsOfLastUpdate.

 

MF_ITTicket_IsDeleted

char(3)

Degenerate dimension. 'Yes' if a ticket has been deleted. 'No' otherwise.

Having this flag allows us not to actually delete deleted tickets. Instead we simply mark them as deleted (as Web Help Desk does). When a ticket is deleted, though, we do set the TicketTime and TicketTimeAsOfLastUpdate to zero.
