SLA Recalculation Overview

This page is about Time to SLA for Jira On-Prem. Using Jira Cloud? Click the Cloud button above.

After installing Time to SLA and defining your SLAs, the plugin will start calculating when issues change. However, you may also want to see the SLA history on your existing issues, in which case the SLA recalculation tool will be useful.

When should you use recalculation?

  • If you’ve defined a new SLA and want to see it in your old issues,

  • If you have made changes in the configurations of the existing SLAs and you want them to be active in your old issues, you should either write the scope of the issue or directly select the SLA, and run the recalculation.

Doing this will prevent any errors from occurring in your existing issues.

On this page, you can recalculate SLA data for issues created before a new SLA definition, update existing SLA data within issues after making changes to SLA definitions, and repair corrupt SLA data.
