Service Level Agreement components

A Service Level Agreement (SLA) has few required fields. You must specify this information:

  • Type that identifies an SLA as either a Service or Customer SLA
  • Customer name
  • Title (name) of the SLA
  • Date when the SLA begins
  • Date when the SLA expires

The optional information describes Service Level Targets, a linked contract (if applicable), and related agreements.

An SLA produces metrics through a link to a department or company record. An administrator must ensure that department records specify which SLA governs the department, and that company records specify which SLA governs the company.
