The [General] tab allows you to configure your working hours which SLA will be triggered within the time defined here.

The [Holidays/Exceptions] tab, allows you to configure all days that your department or organization is not working and unable to respond. SLAs will temporary be disabled on the days configured in this tab. Click [Ok] once you are done with your configurations.

Your new working hours profile appears in the right pane of the [Working hours profile] folder. You may configure multiple working hours profiles, which will be stored and listed on this page of your FocalScope system.
