<h2>Why are the Actual elapsed time and Business elapsed time not correct on the task SLA record?</h2><br/><div style="overflow-x:auto"><article><div ><h3 >Description</h3><section><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 9px; color: #485563; font-family: SourceSansPro, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial; font-size: 13px;">The timings and percentages on the Task SLA records are not calculated and updated on a continuous basis because it can impact performance. The SLA Engine takes a “just-in-time” approach to calculate and update these values, as needed.</p> <p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 9px; color: #485563; font-family: SourceSansPro, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial; font-size: 13px;">These values are updated in the following scenarios:</p> <ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 9px; color: #485563; font-family: SourceSansPro, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial; font-size: 13px; list-style-position: inside;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">When an update to the Task record results in a change of stage on the Task SLA record, for example, from <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Paused</strong> to <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">In Progress</strong> or from <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">In Progress</strong> to <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Completed</strong>.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">When one of the base system SLA Update scheduled jobs run.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px;">Note:</strong> Paused task SLAs are excluded as there is no time elapsing for these records.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />These jobs run more frequently when the Task SLA gets closer to its breach time.
