Help Desk Tickets

Listed in Teesside University Research Data Repository

These datasets were created as part of a study involving an experiment with a helpdesk team at an international software company.

Description

The goal was to implement an automated performance appraisal model that evaluates the team based on issue reports and key features derived from classifying message exchanged with the customers using Dialog Acts. The data was extracted from a PostgreSQL database and curated to present aggregated views of helpdesk tickets reported between January 2007 and March 2023.

Certain fields have been anonymized (masked) to protect the data owner’s privacy while preserving the overall meaning of the information. The datasets are: - issues.csv Holds information for all reported tickets, showing its category, priority, who reported the issue, related project, who was assigned to resolve that ticket, the start time, the resolution time, and how many seconds the ticket spent in each resolution step. - issues_change_history.csv The tickets assignee and status change history.

This dataset helps calculate the time spent on each step. - issues_snapshots.csv The same records in the issues.csv but duplicates the records handled by multiple assignees; each record is the processing cycle per assignee. - scored_issues_snapshot_sample.xlsx A stratified and representative sample extracted from the tickets and then handed to an annotator (the help-desk manager) to appraise the resolution performance against three targets, where 5 is the highest score and 1 is the lowest. - sample_utterances.csv Contains the messages (comments) that were exchanged between the reporters and the helpdesk team.

This dataset only contains the curated messages for the issues listed in scored_issues_snapshot_sample.xlsx, as those were the focus of the initial study. - holidays_by_country.csv Holidays between 2007 and 2023 for all countries that had reported tickets. The following files are guidelines on how to work and interpret the datasets: - FEATURES.md Describes the datasets features (fields). - EXAMPLE.md Shows an example of an issue in all datasets so the reader can understand the relations between them. - process-flow.png A demonstration of the steps followed by the helpdesk team to resolve an issue.

These datasets are valuable for many other experiments such like: - Count Predictions - Regression - Association rules mining - Natural Language Processing - Classification - Clustering
