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

This page requires some knowledge of searching for issues using JQL. If you need a detailed introduction to JQL usage, please click here to get more information.

Due to the limitations of the issue navigator, it's not possible to search for SLAs in the Basic mode.

If you want to use more than one SLA 3.0 JQL functions, you have to use the slaJoin function! Want to learn how to join SLA functions? Click here.

What is slaFunction?

The Time to SLA plugin adds the slaFunction custom field upon installation. This custom field cannot be added to screens; however, it can be used for JQL search. This design allows for better plugin performance. Click here if you want to check out former JQL functions.

State Functions

State Functions filter issues for a given state of SLA. These functions check state equality so you can only use = or != as operands.

Function

Description

Example

Function

Description

Example

isNotStarted([Optional List of SLA IDs or/and Name(s)])

Finds issues that have at least one inactive SLA on it.

slaFunction = isNotStarted()

slaFunction = isNotStarted(SLAid1,SLAid2)

slaFunction = isNotStarted("SLA Name 1","SLA Name 2")

isFinished([Optional List of SLA IDs or/and Name(s) ])

Finds issues that have at least one finished SLA on it.
