Overview

The Time-to-Action Tracker object is a LeanData custom object that allows you to easily measure the time it takes for specific actions to take place within LeanData. LeanData will automatically track the date/time a record enters and exits a Hold Until Node or a NotifyPlus Node in a Routing graph, and record those times in this object.

LeanData will also calculate the duration that the record was held for (“Time-to-Action”), so that you can use it in your reporting. If the Hold Until node is configured to "evaluate while the owner is working," LeanData will calculate both the raw duration and also a time to action that accounts for hours that a User is not working.

This will allow LeanData Admins to track SLA compliance across various groups using information on the record or related record, and identify bottlenecks in the sales process to then improve the buyer experience.

This new feature is accessible through native SFDC reporting functionality after you set up a Custom Report Type that includes this new object.

Please Note: Time to Action records will be deleted after 365 days by default. You can adjust this if you would like to change the retention time by going to the LeanData Dashboard > Admin > Settings > Reporting > Time-to-Action Log Retention.

Building Time-to-Action Reports in Salesforce

Building Time-to-Action Reports and Dashboards is done in Salesforce's native Reports and Dashboards interface, making it as flexible and customizable as you need. In order to do this, you must first create the appropriate Report Type and include your desired fields

 

Creating a Time-to-Action Report Type

1. Navigate to Salesforce Setup
2. Search & select Report Types on the left sidebar
3. Review the Salesforce Custom Report Types help text/overview then click Continue
4. Click New Custom Report Type

Steps 1-4

 

5. Under the Primary Object, select LeanData Time-to-Action Tracker
6. Add a Label & Report Name 
   1. Recommended: name it LeanData Time-to-Action Tracker then click Tab on your keyboard to auto-name the Name
7. Add a description
   1. Recommended: Use this report to track time-to-action on records assigned by LeanData.  Records must enter the "Hold Until" node to be tracked.
8. Select a Category
   1. I selected Other Reports since I’ll be using this report for various objects.
9. Set the Deployment Status to Deployed
10. Click Next, then Save

Steps 5-10

 

Adding Fields to your Report Type Layout

Before creating your reports and dashboards, you will need to add your desired fields onto the Report Type Layout. After adding these fields, they can be used as filters, groups, or fields in the report output.  By default, the LeanData Time-to-Action object comes with a limited set of fields. 

1. Under Fields Available for Reports, click Edit Layout

 

 

2. (Optional) Click Create New Section 
   1. This step is optional as it only helps with report/field organization
   2. The number of sections is dependent on the number of objects you plan to use 
   3. Create 4 new sections for the 4 different objects you'd like to reference
      1. Lead
      2. User
      3. Entry Log
      4. Exit Log
         1. Entry/Exit Logs provide more information on the “type” of routing that assigned the rep the record
3. After creating sections, find the View section on the right-hand side and click Add Fields Related via Lookup

 

 

4. Select an object name, such as User, and pull in fields that will matter to your organization for reporting purposes.  As an example, you may want to use these fields when reporting:
   1. Full Name
   2. Role
   3. Profile
   4. Manager
   5. Active

 

 

5. Repeat for every object.  For Entry/Exit Logs, we recommend adding the following fields:
   1. Routing Action
   2. Pre-Owner

 

When you have finished adding fields from your different objects, click Save

 

Building Your Reports and Dashboards

1. Navigate to Reports in Salesforce
2. Click on New Report

 

3. Search for the Time-to-Action Report Type you'd like to use to build your report

 

 

4. Start building / grouping by fields important to your organization such as:
   1. User Full Name
   2. User Manager
   3. Status 
5. Think over how you want to group your report in order to create a visual dashboard.  In the example above, we used 3 different reports and grouped by the following fields:
   1. Time-to-Action: Status
   2. Time-to-Action: Calculated Time-to-Action
      1. Bucket by Time
   3. Entry Log: Campaign
      1. Custom field mapped via Log Mapping & Metrics
   4. Entry Log: Matched Account Region 
      1. Custom field mapped via Log Mapping & Metrics
   5. Owner Role
