[Aïssa]

Hi,
news about this,
The sla is now present on listview, detailview and editview on helpdesk.
The escalation is managed on account info (see attached).
The account have an SLA field, an escalation_to field (open user pop 
up), and a delais rule dropdown field (like 3/4 of the total SLA delay 
before escalation).
The cron task script work.Now i test, and try to improve & clean the 
code & write procedure for install.
Regards,
Aïssa
