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.
