Can I exclude breaks, holidays, weekends, and non-working hours from SLA calculations?

I can’t seem to find the calendar settings any more in IIQ. Was this removed from the Admin menu? We would like to block off weekends, school breaks and holidays so that our Waiting on Requestor stale calculations are not including those days when our staff isn’t here.

Hi Kathryn - thanks, I guess the location changed since this post originally went up. Can you confirm whether the waiting on requestor functionality can have rules assigned to it based on school breaks like the SLAs can? We have instances where there is a school break, and our tickets close due to no response, but there was no response because it was school break.

​@HWeddle 133a03 msad75 As I understand it, within the SLA, you would need to exclude that status from the SLA. 

By default SLAs exclude weekends and non working hours. If you set up an additional holiday exclusion, you can create an event in the Incident IQ calendar and create an event. It needs to be marked as either a Break or a Holiday in the event type. That should prevent the SLA from running during that holiday. I hope this helps 😄
