Hi Team,

 

Response time and resolution time is filled in based on the combination of case category, service type and service but when the cases are created via email only the case category is filled in and an email is sent to the customer without resolution time.

Is there a setting were we can set a resolution time only with the case category?

 

 

Regards,

Mayan

Hello Amritha,

 

In order to change how resolution time is calculated please go to system designer -> Lookup -> Case deadline calculation schemas.

 

In there, you are able to choose one of the default options (one of which will suit your demand and is called "By service") or create your own rules.

To read more about resolution time calculation please refer to the academy article here.

 

Thank you,

Artem.

Currently in the case section, actual response time gets filled in automatically when the case moves to in progress. Similarly, actual resolution time gets filled in automatically when the stage is resolved. They INCLUDE weekends and holidays right now, so if a case gets created on a Saturday, it looks like the actual response time was two days since our office is closed until Monday.

Is there a way to exclude non working hours and have those fields only calculate based on business hours?

Hello Mitch,

To achieve your target you need to use "Working days" value for "Response/Resolution time unit" in "Services" section. Here are Academy references that describe how to set those values properly here, here and here.

Oscar Dylan,

Thank you Oscar, I may not have explained my problem very well. I am looking for a metric that is 'actual response time' minus 'case registration date'. I want to show the difference between those two columns as Days:Hours. 

I understand I need to either set up a metric in the section wizard, or calculate the metric using a business process. 

For example, if a case is registered on a Friday afternoon, and gets put 'in progress' on a Monday morning, my metric should say a couple hours instead of a couple days.

I will continue searching for a solution, any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

 

Mitch Kaschub,

Got it. In this case I would advise you to create a business process like on the screenshot http://prntscr.com/ofit1g. It is being triggered upon status change to "In progress" and reads this case record in "Read modified case" element. The main idea is in conditional flows of a process:

1) "Case was created on a Friday afternoon?" flow should check if the incident was created on a Friday afternoon and should contain this formula

DayOfWeek([#Read modified case.First item of resulting collection.Created on#]) == 5 && Time([#Read modified case.First item of resulting collection.Created on#]) >= [#Time value.12:00#]

The process will go to a next step if it is true and if it is not - it will be terminated and base logic will work for this case record.

2) "Case status was changed on Monday?" - here we need to check if the status of this incident was changed on Monday. It can be done with the help of the next formula:

DayOfWeek([#Read modified case.First item of resulting collection.Modified on#]) == 1

And if it is true the process will go to its final stage of actual response/resolution time modification, but if it is false - the process will be terminated. The last process element modifies "Actual resolution time" and "Actual response time" columns and we need to use following formulas, for example:

[#System variable.Current Time and Date#].AddHours(3) - for actual resolution time

[#System variable.Current Time and Date#].AddHours(1) - for actual response time

You can also modify this process based on your needs, but the main logic here is to use date/time functions and modify needed columns in such a way.

Best regards,

Oscar

This is fantastic! Thank you so much Oscar Dylan!

Hi,

 

I have set up the SLA but I am struggling to setup the resolution times of the cases registered based on the priorities in the SLA.

 

Could someone please guide me how to do it or redirect it to where I can find it?

Dear Aaykay,

Here is the chain of articles that explain how to set up case resolution time calculation. https://academy.bpmonline.com/documents/service-enterprise/7-13/how-calculate-response-and-resolution-time-0

Best regards,

Dean

Hi Dean,

I tried that but it still doesn't work. I did the settings as mentioned in the articles but the resolution and response times are not changing when I change the priority of the case

Dear Aaykay,

There are multiple settings required for this feature. If the time is still not calculated, then most likely some of the settings are still required. Could you please make sure that you've set up the lookup 'Case deadline calculation schemas' accordingly since its setup is commonly forgotten. In case it cannot help and you've followed all the steps from the guide, we would need to look through your system settings on our end to make sure there are no any other issues in the application. Therefore, please approach our support team via support@bpmonline.com for further help since we will not be able to investigate the issue on the community properly. 

Best regards,

Dean
