The Time to SLA Custom Field
This page is about Time to SLA for Jira On-Prem.
The Time to SLA Custom Field helps you track SLAs by displaying a countdown to the remaining duration or overdue time if an SLA is breached. It uses colors and icons to show the status of an SLA.
Time to SLA creates this custom field upon installation; however, you must add this field to the screens that you want to view. If you don’t know how to do that, learn here.
The Time to SLA Custom Field Colors & Icons
Take a look at the table below to grasp the meaning of each color you may see on the custom field:
Description | Color and Icon |
|---|---|
The SLA has not STARTED. |  |
The SLA is in PROGRESS. (before critical zone) | |
The SLA is in PROGRESS. (after critical zone) | |

The Time to SLA Custom Field shows separate fields per SLA if an issue meets more than one SLA.
