# Escalation intervals and pause conditions

Escalation Intervals and Pause Conditions are not relevant to an inactivity monitor.

The related list and field are available because the inactivity monitor table extends the table used for SLAs, but these elements are not used in any way when an inactivity monitor attaches or is triggered.
