6. Enter the planned Revised target date for the support provision case using the calendar icon () or type in the value directly; a time may also be specified using the clock icon () 3.
7. Using the Revision reason drop-down field, select a parameter value to qualify the circumstances surrounding the change of SLA target date for the support provision case 4.

Note

1 Additional search criteria may need to be employed (e.g. start date range, company, status, support type) to ensure that the correct support provision case is returned; an alternative Search by category of Contact or Contact Group may be selected to extend the available search fields.

2 The option is active only for support provision cases where the Revision allowed attribute has been configured for the underlying classification type.

3 The permitted date entry format is DD/MM/YY or DD/MM/YYYY; the permitted time entry format is HH:MM.

4 These custom values can be populated by the end user via the general lookup parameter entitled System Case SLA Revision Reasons.

5 System validation rules ensure that where a Revised Target Date is brought forward, it cannot conflict with any SLA linked to the associated support provision tasks.
