Set Up an Escalation Service

This page is about Time to SLA for Jira On-Prem.

You might need to regenerate SLA data for issues from time to time. Escalation services execute JQL and regenerate SLA data for the issues that are returned by this query. On this page, you can set a time interval (how often the escalation service will be triggered) by cron expression.

On this page, you can create new escalation services, as well as edit and delete them.

  1. New Service – Click to add a new service.

  2. # – Shows the number of the scheduled escalation service.

  3. Name – Displays the name of the escalation service.

  4. JQL – Displays the JQLs used.

  5. SLAs – Displays which SLAs will be recalculated.

  6. Concurrency – The level that determines how many threads will execute the SLA recalculation.

  7. Cron – Displays when and how often the recalculation will be performed.

  8. Edit – Click to edit the service.

  9. Delete – Click to delete the service.
