Status What It Means Example
Compliant Milestones on the record are either complete or not in violation. New records display as compliant because they're not in violation. The first response on a case is complete or not in violation.
Open Violation One or more milestones on the record have been violated, and steps in the support process are incomplete. The assigned support rep didn’t complete the first response on a case before the milestone expired.
Closed Violation One or more milestones on the record were violated, but the steps in the support process were still completed. The assigned support rep completed the first response on a case after the milestone expired.

The status icons you see differ based on where the milestone appears and whether you’re in Salesforce Classic or Lightning Experience.

In Salesforce Classic, milestones display in the following locations.

  • On the Milestone Status Icon field and Case Milestones related list:
    • Compliant: Milestone compliant icon
    • Open Violation: Milestone open violation icon
    • Close Violation: Warning
  • In the milestone tracker:
    • Completed: Milestone completed icon
    • Violated: Milestone violated icon

In Lightning Experience, milestones display in the Milestone component.

  • Completed: Milestone completed icon in Lightning Experience
  • Violated: Milestone violated icon in Lightning Experience

If milestone feed items are enabled, icons also display in the feed. Remember that these feed item icons are different in Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience.
