Off the cuffI would create a field and set the the current time in that field, some fancy work with strings and find out the time portion within the field if the time sets between 12am and 6pm then run a filter to notify this person.I have not tried this but I think it should work and let you get out of the situation of writing 60 escalations. If not something along these lines perhaps? thanks shafqat

While I thought this will would be quick and easy, it is becoming a bit more than I wanted. What I have so far is 60 escalations created with having each minute specified on the hour for each escalation. Basically, for each escalation, all the Weekdays are checked and Hour of Day selected from 12am-6am and Time selected for 00, 01, 02, or 03, etc. I really do not want 60 escalations running for this request. Is there a way to run 1 escalation or even a filter within a specific timeframe (between 12am-6am everyday)? It's crucial for the user to receive the notification when his ticket is created right away, since SLA requires it. Otherwise, I could just run one escalation checking for that user's ticket(s) once every hour. Thanks and I hope I made sense.
