April 2019

In order to make it possible to create accurate measures of ticket metrics and SLA policy violations, we have now improved the way SCHEDULEs are represented. Previously, we added start_time_utc and end_time_utc columns to the SCHEDULE table, but that did not account for daylight saving time. We have now added new tables to accurately calculate the schedule in the applicable time zone throughout the year. To implement these improvements, we have made the following schema changes:

Added a new table, DAYLIGHT_TIME, with the following columns:
- daylight_end_utc

- year
Added a new table, TIME_ZONE, with the following columns:
- standard_offset

November 2018

We have dropped the deleted column from the GROUP table.

September 2018

The ticket_id and created_at columns are now the primary keys for the TICKET_SCHEDULE table. This change accounts for cases where a ticket is repeatedly assigned to a schedule.

In cases where multiple schedule assignment events are triggered in a single ticket audit, we now only create a record in the TICKET_SCHEDULE table for the final schedule assignment event.

We now use a Zendesk-supplied list of 100+ time zone names to map times in the TICKET_SCHEDULE table to UTC.

We have added two new columns, via_source_to_name and via_source_to_address, to the TICKET_EVENTand TICKET tables.

We now sync schedule_id data for tickets in a new table called TICKET_SCHEDULE.

June 2018

We have added two new columns, start_time_utc and end_time_utc, to the SCHEDULE table. These two columns make it easier to calculate ticket metrics that depend on working hours. The column units are minutes from Sunday at midnight UTC. For example, a column value of 720 is equivalent to Sunday at noon UTC because it is 720 minutes later than Sunday at midnight (12 hours * 60 minutes).

May 2018

Zendesk uses various non-standard time formats in different regions. We can now parse non-standard times like Mon Jan 1 2018, 00:00:00 GMT-0300 (Hora oficial do Brasil) and Mon Apr 30 2018 15:44:04 GMT+0000 when they come from Zendesk.
