A new knowledge base article has been published on our support portal.
Scenario Overview
In our example, a customer wishes to know the number of business hours which have elapsed from when a case was created to when a response was made.
We shall use a North52 function called GetDifferenceWorkingTime() to calculate it. We will then save it in a custom field called Business Hours Elapsed.
Note : You will need to create a custom field called new_businesshourselapsed for this example.
N52 Formula Manager Solution
The Formula Manager solution works like this:
- Whenever the field Follow Up By is updated on the Case entity, the formula is triggered
- The formula will calculate the time elapsed between the Creation On date/time of the case and the Follow Up Bydate/time
- It will then update a custom field called Business Hours Elapsed with this calculation.
