Example 7: Creation date outside working times, ticket paused

Overview

This example considers working times and holidays. The creation date is outside working times as defined in the service time profile, so it cannot be used as a basis for calculation. Instead, the system has to calculate the next possible time within the working time to calculate the reaction and solution points. In the second scenario, the tickets are paused, the escalation process is suspended in this period, and the solution points are postponed by the system accordingly.

Calculation of Solution Points

Formula: Creation Date + SL Solution Time + paused period = Solution Point

Because the creation date is outside working times, it cannot be used for the calculation. The system therefore calculates the next possible time within the working time.

  • Incident 1: Tuesday, 4/14/2009, 8:00 AM + 1 working day + 5 hours = Wednesday, 4/15/2009, 13:00
  • Incident 2: Tuesday, 4/14/2009, 8:00 AM + 3 working days + 5 hours = Friday, 4/17/2009, 1:00 PM
  • Incident 3: Tuesday, 4/14/2009, 8:00 AM + 5 days + 2 days (1 weekend) + 5 hours = Tuesday, 4/21/2009, 1:00 PM
  • Incident 4: Tuesday, 4/14/2009, 8:00 AM + 10 days + 4 days (2 weekends) + 5 hours = Tuesday, 4/28/2009, 1:00 PM
