SLA – Service Level Agreement

Service level agreements allow you to add SLA’s for your cases.

There are 4 causes to perform action on case

  1. When a case is not assigned to anyone.
  2. When a case is not updated by anyone.
  3. When a case is closed.
  4. If the customer is not updated through an email regarding the case.

You can perform actions like reassigning the cases and/or email to the concerned manager or employee.

  1. Click on “Create” button to create new SLA.
  2. Provide “SLA Name” and add “Events”.
