How to configure different SLA response and resolution times for P1 incidents on weekdays vs weekend

I have a single support team that works both on weekdays and weekends.

I need to configure different SLA targets for Priority 1 (P1) based on the day:

Requirements

  • Priority = P1

  • Same assignment group

  • Business elapsed time SLAs

SLA targets

  • Weekdays (Mon–Fri):

    • Response SLA: 15 minutes

    • Resolution SLA: 15 minutes

  • Weekends (Sat–Sun):

    • Response SLA: 30 minutes

    • Resolution SLA: 30 minutes

Working hours

  • SLA should count only during business hours (e.g. 06:30 AM – 09:30 PM)

  • SLA should pause outside business hours

Hi @Satyam123,

 

You may have to refer this thread - https://www.servicenow.com/community/itsm-forum/trigger-an-sla-based-on-when-incident-was-created/td...  (you got to be very careful while doing this)

 

 

The key here to trigger  SLA one during Weekdays and one During Weekends rest is straight forward and its not available directly in the SLA start condition

For SLA targets you just use Schedules (Response and Resolution) and Duration.

Hi @Satyam123 ,

 

As @Hemanth M1 have stated, you need to have two different SLAs with their own schedule. Have you tried this and if yes - where do you get stucked?

 

If my answer has helped with your question, please mark my answer as the accepted solution and give a thumbs up.
