How do I create a new field time?

I have an alert table with certain values:
Time (alert occurrence) | Alert Name | Severity....


Would it be possible to create a time entry the first time an alert is accessed?


This would help me to create a first response SLA.

Time Alert Name Severity First reponse SLA
03/16/2022 05:20 PM Failed Login Medium 03/16/2022 05:25 PM 00:05
03/16/2022 05:30 PM Acces invalid High

Correct is a question, is it possible to detect the exact date when the alert results are first accessed for review?

I don't know if it is possible for Splunk to collect that value in a field when doing that action.

How do you detect the first time an alert is accessed? Or is that your question? What do you mean by "accessed"?
