Workflow change/creation, Problem.

Hello,

I have some questions regarding a Problem requirement. I need to perform some checks on the problem record, such as: Problems with associated Incident P1 or P2: After 3 days without progress in the workflow, the status should automatically change to "Under root cause analysis". I looked for an existing workflow to add this condition but couldn't find one. To implement this condition, will it be necessary to create a new workflow, or is there another way to do it? Could you help me?

Thank you.

Hi @DiegoCamacho ,

You don’t necessarily need a workflow for this. A Scheduled Script Execution is ideal - it can check for Problems linked to P1/P2 Incidents and update the status after 3 days of no progress.

But if you're using Flow Designer, you can try a Wait for Duration step and then update the record as needed.

Hope this helps!

so when Problem has associated P1 or P2 incident and if there is no update on INC over 3 days being in progress state then Problem should move to other state?

The problem should be moved to "Root Cause Analysis".

@DiegoCamacho 

you can have a flow trigger on INC when Problem ID Changes and Problem ID is not empty and Priority = P1 or P2

Then use "Wait for Duration" and give 3 days = 72 hours

After the Wait for Duration check the state of INC is updated or not

if not then move the PRB state
