Setting service-level agreements (SLAs) for stages, processes, and steps
Ensure that users complete assignments on time by assigning service-level agreements (SLAs) to stages, processes, and steps. By implementing SLAs, you enforce timely case resolution and ensure that users follow the timeline that you agree on with your customers.
For example, you can define timelines for CSRs to review loan requests within a goal of five days and a deadline of ten business days.
The system calculates goals and deadlines as the time
between task assignment and task completion, unless your SLA states otherwise. For more
information about advanced SLA configurations, see Creating a service-level agreement (SLA) rule.
