# Examples

# Examples of recalculating a remediation target date {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
The following examples show how the system recalculates the remediation target date based on different rule selections and risk rating changes.  
Note:  
By default, SLAs define the remediation window for each risk level:

* Low risk: 30 days
* Medium risk: 15 days
* High risk: 10 days

| Target from (date) | Field change time | Initial risk (Target (days)) → New risk (Target (days)) | Existing RT date | Recalculated RT date | What happens |
|-|-|-|-|-|-|
| Default calculation ||||||
| Feb 1 | Feb 10 | Medium (15 days) → High (10 days) | Feb 16 | Feb 11 (applied) | Uses the standard formula with the new risk ratings target days, not the Field change time-based formula: Target from (date) + New risk Target (days) → Feb 1 + 10 = Feb 11. |
| Recalculate from trigger field change date ||||||
| Recalculate from risk change date ||||||
| Feb 1 | Feb 10 | Medium (15 days) → High (10 days) | Feb 16 | Feb 20 (applied) | Uses the recalculation formula: Field change time + Target (days) → Feb 10 + 10 = Feb 20. |
| Recalculate from trigger field change date and always set to the earliest target date ||||||
| Recalculate from risk change date and always set to earliest target date ||||||
| Feb 1 | Feb 10 | Medium (15 days) → Low (30 days) | Feb 16 (applied) | Mar 12 | Compares the existing RT date (Feb 16) with the recalculated date (Feb 10 + 30 = Mar 12) and selects the earliest date → Feb 16. |
| Recalculate from risk rating change date and set to the earliest target date only when risk rating increases (available only when Risk rating is selected as a trigger field) ||||||
| Recalculate from risk change date and set to earliest target date only when risk rating increases ||||||
| Feb 1 | Feb 10 | Low (30 days) → High (10 days) | Mar 3 | Feb 20 (applied) | Because the risk increased, the system compares the existing RT date (Mar 3) with the recalculated date (Feb 20) and applies the earlier date → Feb 20. |
| Feb 1 | Feb 10 | High (10 days) → Low (30 days) | Feb 11 | Mar 12 (applied) | Because the risk decreased, the system compares the existing RT date (Feb 11) with the recalculated date (Feb 10 + 30 = Mar 12) and applies the later date → Mar 12. |
