Hi guys!
Is it possible to exclude Weekends and Holidays in calculation of SLA Breach for incident tickets? Currently our tickets are getting breach SLA even though it's Weekends/Holidays. We want our timer to stop running if the date is Weekend or Holiday so that our tickets won't breach.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @Hemanth M1 thank you so much for responding to my question.
In your screenshot, the schedule 8-5 weekdays excluding holidays is that an OOB? or you created in yourself?
