No OOB workflow to set "SLA Responded" field? Rick, That sucks. I have consistently suggested to customers to forget about using ITSM's SLA since my failed attempts at making sense of and using SLA 4. Three versions later, you are telling me they have been adding bells and whistles to this pretty boy, while the engine still sputters and the body rattles. What a fun ride. The power of shiny paint! Once while visiting a BMW plant, the host told me cars sell for their paint. I thought he was kidding. But what do I know? Any specific issues with SLM 7 I should know about? Wonder how many are using it in production. --- Rick Cook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Rabi, there are still significant problems with SLM v7.
