2. Features
2.1. Suspending Escalations.
This module allows the interception of escalations.
If a ticket is assigned to one of several configurable states, the escalation is stopped (disabled).
When changing the state of the ticket to 'normal', the escalation will continue. In this case, it starts with the
date when the status was changed, displaying the remaining time.
Therefore, the entire period when the ticket was not on a 'normal' state is not counted.

5. Configuration
This package includes a new cron job. It can be found after installation under var/cron and has to be
renamed from #name#.dist to #name#. The current cron for the OTRS user has to be restarted (Linux /
Unix), in Windows cron4win has to be re-read.
Configure the states that shall suspend the escalation in the SysConfig area, under group
"OTRSEscalationSuspend" and configuration element "EscalationSuspendStates".
Important: The "TicketEscalationIndexBuild" is based on version 3.0.x with ITSM OTRS 1.2.2.
If an update to another version is needed, the module can be adjusted.
