SLA Definition: To which User field is Callers Timezone pointing?

Niclas
Giga Guru

If we create a SLA Definition for HR Case for the field Timezone we can select the option "The Callers Timezone".

On HR we have 3 User fields: Openedy By, Opened For, Subject Person.

Whose timezone will be used on the SLA option "The callers timezone"?

Caller's time zone will be Opened_For, this has been fixed in NY.

Hi,

it's taking the information from the time_zone field in the sys_user table:

I know that it is taking the timezone field from the user. The question is from which user exactly. On HR Case you have 3 Fields: Opened By, Opened For, and Subject Person. Who of this users is interpreted as the "Caller"?
