Hi,
Attachment of SLAs shouldn't be schedule dependent, instead you'd attach the SLA but it would be paused based on the SLA schedule (for your instance, a 9 to 5 schedule)

Hi there,
Usually you would have a schedule, and attach that to your SLA.
Here an example:
Attach a Schedule Entry and perhaps a Child Schedule to exclude holidays:
And than attach that Schedule to your SLA Definition:
Within your SLA Definition ofcourse set the state/pause/stop/reset conditions.
Kind regards,

Hi @Aryan ,
is others already have mentioned, it’s not about only attach a SLA within a given timeframe, but more to create the right schedule within the SLA. If then the SLA is started during out of office hours, it will be paused until workday start.
