Field Description

The following table describes the fields on the DEADLINE CONFIGURATION page:

Field	Description
DETAILS
Name	Specify the Deadline Configuration name.
Workgroup	Select the Workgroup from the drop-down list. You can select multiple Workgroups based on the requirement.
Category	Type in the Category name and select a category from the search results.
Risk	Select the Risk from the drop-down list. You can select multiple Risks based on the requirement.
Priority	Select the Priority from the drop-down list. You can select multiple Priorities based on the requirement.
Problem Record type	Select Problem Record Type as Proactive or Reactive from the drop-down list.
RCA Deadline (In Hours)	Specify the RCA deadline in hours.
Resolution Deadline Type	Select the Resolution Deadline type as Log Time or RCA Deadline Time. Note: Log Time is time when the Problem Record was logged. The Resolution Deadline is based on the log time of the Problem Record when Resolution Deadline Type is Log Time. Example: Example: Let's consider the following configurations: (a) Problem Record is logged at 09:00 AM on 6th July 2020 (b) RCA Deadline (In Hours) is configured as 24 hours (09:00 AM, 7th July 2020) (c) Resolution Deadline Type is Log Time (d) Resolution Deadline (In Hours) is 30 hours (e) Service Window is 247* Make sure that Resolution Deadline (In Hours) value is greater than the RCA Deadline (In Hours) when Resolution Deadline Type is Log Time. The Resolution Deadline will be counted 30 hours from the log time of the Problem Record when the Resolution Deadline Type is Log Time. Hence, the actual Resolution Deadline will be 03:00 PM, 7th July 2020. The Resolution Deadline is calculated based on the RCA Deadline Time when the Resolution Deadline Type is RCA Deadline Time. Example: Example: Let's consider the following configurations: (a) Problem Record is logged at 09:00 AM on 6th July 2020 (b) RCA Deadline (In Hours) is configured as 24 hours (09:00 AM, 7th July 2020) (c) Resolution Deadline Type is RCA Deadline Time (d) Resolution Deadline (In Hours) is 9 hours (e) Service Window is 247 Resolution Deadline is counted in addition to the RCA Deadline hours when the Resolution Deadline Type* is RCA Deadline Time. Hence, the actual Resolution Deadline will be 06:00 PM, 7th July 2020.
Resolution Deadline (In Hours)	Specify the Resolution deadline in hours.
Service Window	Select the Service Windows to display in the Service Window field on the PROBLEM RECORD page when the configured Deadline is applied to the PR. Note: All the Service Windows, which are available for the Problem Management, will be populated in the Service Window drop-down list on the PROBLEM RECORD page when no Service Windows is configured on the DEADLINE CONFIGURATION page.
