Thanks Rick. I could see how this could get more complex than originally planned. Thanks for the heads up. We looked at the SLM app and decided that we did not want to pay that amount of money just for escalations at this time. Soooooo, needless to say, I'm looking at different avenues. mjd

I would like to create a little customized escalation app in which an escalation will be triggered based on the Priority of the incident, the status of the incident, and using business hours of 8:00 - 5:00. I'm doing this in lieu of the Remedy Service Desk 7.0 app not having escalations OOTB.
