SLA Indication Widgеt

The SLA Indication widget visualizes the time left till the nearest SLA breach time. When the SLA indicators are set and the start conditions are met, the widget displays a countdown of relevant indications for the record. For example, the Incident table has an indicator that starts when the incident record is assigned to the Support team and ends when the work on the incident is completed. That is, the visualized indication will start counting down the time from the moment when the Assigned Group is Support; the indication will end when the State is Completed.

Widget interface

The widget consists of the following elements:

1. Round progress bar indicating the time that has passed.
2. Counter
   1. indicating the business time that has passed after the SLA was breached (expired indication)
   2. indicating the business time left until the SLA is breached (until the deadline, not yet expired)
3. Title of the SLA indicator.

4. Time till the nearest indication breach time (deadline).

• The red color denotes that the SLA indication was breached, and some time has passed since then.

• The blue color denotes that the SLA indication was started, and some time has passed, but the indication has not been breached yet.
• The gray color denotes that the SLA indication has just been started (recently).

Displayed information
