SLA Definition Missing "Set start to" on new Definitions?

Hello Community,

I am implementing some new SLA definitions for a new service provider, but am having trouble as the new ones I am creating do not have the SET START TO field. The existing ones however, do. I have tried checking the RETROACTIVE START box, but the dropdown is not present on new definitions. Any ideas on why I am not seeing this field on new SLA Definitions... I sort of need it . I am sure I am missing something easy, but was unsuccessful trolling for the answer so far. Thanks!

Hey Jeff,



Can you scroll down on the SLA Definition page and see all the tabs. Sometime I have seen that users have the 'Retroactive Start' field in 'Start Condition' or other tabs, which messes up the view and functionality. A form should not have same field added twice in different section.



Let me know if that works.

Gaurav,



From within the form, I am not able to change it now that it is selected. I can change it from without the form, at the list view. I did a quick perusal of the business scripts, and nothing jumped out at me. I am going to look at the client scripts next. Thanks for the hints Gaurav!

you know that would it be foolish of me to ask you again about the same UI Policy "Retroactive start", the screenshot that you have showed, I can see it is becoming mandatory, but just to make sure it is making that field as Visible too?



because sometimes I do mistakes like this, hence a second eye check.

Abhishek,



This is precisely it. The system does have the retroactive checkbox also down in a tab, and it does behave oddly trying to use it. I will look into how/why someone did that and likely back it out.



Thank you Abhishek and Gaurav for your excellent advice and assistance.
