    Calendar: CAL1001
    
    Shift: S1001
    Days in Pattern: 7
    Start Day: Monday
    Monday to Friday: 08:30 to 17:00
    Saturday to Sunday: blank
    
    - Apply shift to calendar.
    
    2. Go To -> Administration -> Communication Template
    application.
    - Create 5 commtmplt for INCIDENT.
    
    1001 Commlog COMTMPLT 1 INCIDENT ALL ACTIVE
    1002 Commlog COMTMPLT 2 INCIDENT ALL ACTIVE
    1003 Commlog COMTMPLT 3 INCIDENT ALL ACTIVE
    1004 Commlog COMTMPLT 4 INCIDENT ALL ACTIVE
    1005 Commlog COMTMPLT 5 INCIDENT ALL ACTIVE
    
    3. Go To -> Service Level -> Service Level Agreements (SP)
    application.
    - Create following SLA record.
    
    SLA1001:
    
    Calculation Calendar
    Organization for Calc Calendar: PMSCIBM
    Calc Calendar: CAL1001
    Calc Shift: S1001
    
    1st escalation point: -2 HR from Target Resolution (Use
    commtmplt 1001)
    2nd escalation point: -1 HR from Target Resolution (Use
    commtmplt 1002)
    3rd escalation point: 0 HR on Target Resolution (Use commtmplt
    1003)
    4th escalation point: 2 HR after Target Resolution (Use
    commtmplt 1004)
    5th escalation point: 4 HR after Target Resolution (Use
    commtmplt 1005)
    
    4. Go To -> Service Desk -> Incident application.
    - Create 5 Incident records.
    - Reported date is on Friday so target resolution is next
    Monday (over the weekend)
    - In each Incident record, apply SLA SLA1001.
    
    Here is test result for each Incident record.
