Need to add a measurement of time all tasks and request that starts and ends with pending vendor

Need to determine a method to add a measurement of time all SCTASKs and enhancement request that starts and ends when State is set to Pending Vendor, then moved out of Pending Vendor state.

We may need to add a hidden SLA to measure this, or determine another way.

Is there any best practices to implement this functionality?

Hi @Sounderrajan K 

The only option here is to use an SLA. Create the SLA on the vendor-specific state, consider the conditions carefully, and then use it for evaluation. There’s no other way to achieve this.

Alternatively, you could create metrics, but with metrics you would need to add logic to filter records based on state transitions.
