Closed By 1st Assign
The number of Requests that were closed by the first Analyst assigned within the date range specified. This can be via manual assignment by an Analyst manually creating a Request and assigning it to themselves or a different Analyst, or via auto-assignment. The key is that the Request was only assigned to one Analyst, then closed.
Closed By Later Assign
The number of Requests that were closed by an Analyst other than the first Analyst assigned within the date range specified. This means that more than one Analyst was assigned to the Request, e.g. in a two-tier support system, First-Level Support was unable to resolve the Request and assigned it to Second-Level Support.

The display of the average duration is controlled by the setting Statistics Duration Display in Administration > General Settings > Request Settings. The options are hours and minutes or decimal.
