Workflow: Apply a new SLA policy to tickets created since a specific date

Create a new version of your SLA policy and add a condition that applies the new policy to tickets created based on a specific date. Then, edit the existing policy to apply only to tickets created before that date.

This workflow is useful if you need to apply a new version of an existing SLA policy to new tickets, but keep the previous SLA policy to track and report on older tickets.

Below are the steps to complete this workflow.

• Step 1: Create a new version of an existing SLA
• Step 2: Edit your old SLA policy
• Step 3: Edit the order of the SLA policies

1. In Admin Center, navigate to Objects and rules > Service level agreements
2. Clone the current SLA policy to create a new version
   
3. Name your cloned SLA policy
4. Under Meet ALL of the following conditions, add the condition Ticket > Created | After or on | the date of the new policy application
5. Click Save policy
   

Step 2: Edit your old SLA policy

To edit your old SLA policy
