You can set goals and deadlines for a case type to enforce your service-level agreements, which are measured from the time that a case is created to the time that the case is resolved. By using goals and deadlines, you encourage case workers to resolve cases on time.
Tip: To configure advanced options for a goal and deadline, use the Service-level agreement form.
In the Explorer panel, click Cases, and then click the case type that you want to open.
On the Settings tab, click Goal & deadline.
Select the Consider goal and deadline check box.
Select one method for calculating your goal and deadline times:
This case — Starts the calculation when an instance of your case type is created
Parent case — Starts the calculation when the parent of your case type is created
Top level case — Starts the calculation when the top-level parent of your case type is created

Define the required resolution time for a case by completing the fields below the Deadline label:

Your settings are stored in the pyCaseTypeDefault service-level agreement rule.
