Recently, in one of our implementation we came across one scenario where customer had asked us on escalations and controlling the same from CRM front end. We were sure that there must be a way within standard product to do the same and after going through the administration area we found exactly same functionality.

In Sage CRM version 7.2 and 7.3, we can configure the settings that would enable/disable the feature of triggering escalations through CRM. This can be done by hardly configuring/setting values of some fields in CRM under administration area. To perform the same, please refer below given steps.

1. Go to Administration | Advance Customization | Workflow and Escalation Configuration
2. From below screenshot you can see the fields which are highlighted by red color mainly responsible for controlling escalation engine in CRM.

3. Set value of these fields to “Yes” if you want to use escalation functionality in CRM else set them “No”.
4. Setting them “No” will stop Escalation Service which is used to run escalation rules and all escalation rules within workflow and outside the workflow will get deactivated automatically.
