Add Service Level Agreements (SLA)

Prev Next

This article will show you how to create a SLA for a Request Category. The SLA is an internal metric for how long it should take staff to close a request. Setting an SLA can help staff prioritize requests and also allows you to track which requests are falling outside of that expectation. You can also assign a primary contact who should be notified if any requests within the category are past the specified SLA timeframe.
