Create a Service Level Agreement
The Service Desk Manager and the Service Contract Manager define and review service level agreements (SLAs).
Select the Service Desk Manager / Manage Service Level Agreements task to access a wizard for creating or editing an SLA. This task loads the ab-helpdesk-sla-create-tabs.axvw
view.
Note: You do not use this task to create SLAs for maintenance-related requests. Instead, you use the Preventive Maintenance / Service Desk Manager / Manage Service Level Agreements and Corrective Maintenance / Service Desk Manager / Manage Service Level Agreements tasks. The Manage Service Level Agreements view prevents you from creating SLAs for service request types that have a problem type assigned.
