Hi experts, 

How can we calculate and store the duration of a particular state (ex. 'On- Hold' state) in a custom field.

or can we achieve this using PA or reporting?

 

TIA.

Hi @si21 ,

 

No, you should instead create a metric definition to capture the state duration on a specific table, to e.g. capture the "on hold" duration. You can read more about metric definition here : https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/vancouver-platform-administration/page/administer/time/reference/...
