Blueprints: SLA

Every Blueprint has its own SLA-defined based on its business factors. When a Root Cause CI is associated with an ITSM record, then the SLA of the blueprint is taken into consideration, provided a Custom Timescale and CI SLA are not defined.  

Use this function to configure response and resolution times for a CI marked as Incident, Requests, Changes or Problems that require resolution.

  For System Administrators, SLA's are created through Admin > Others > Service Level Agreements.

Use this function to manage the actions that occur for an SLA.

1. In the main window, select Admin > SACM > Blueprints. The Blueprints window displays.
2. Select the record to manage. A new window displays.
3. In the Response Time field, specify the maximum amount of time that can pass before a response must occur.
4. In the Resolution Time field, specify the total time allowed to find a resolution. The Resolution Time cannot be smaller than the total of all the other response times (e.g., Response Time, 1st Level Support, etc.).
5. In the Support Level fields, specify the amount of time allows for each support level to respond.
6. In the Escalate section, do the following:
a. For the fields in the first column, specify when an action should taken place, either Before or After the specified time duration has occurred.
b. For the fields in the second column, select the amount of time that can elapse before a notification is sent to the users, roles, groups and departments specified. Multiple options can be selected.
c. For the actions in the third column, click Add (new) or Update (existing) to indicate who receives a notification that activity has been escalated. Refer to Searching for details on how to make selections in the tabs.
7. When all selections/entries are made, click Save.
