Configure SLA Matrix

Prev Next

An SLA Matrix is a configuration that associates specific SLAs with service request categories and priorities. It lets you define how different types of service requests should be treated in terms of service level (response/resolution expectations) based on their category and priority.

In essence, it’s a way to map service categories and priorities to particular SLA definitions so that when a request is logged, the correct SLA is automatically applied.

To configure SLA Matrix, perform the following steps:

  1. Navigate to Incident > Configuration > SLA Configurations > SLA Matrix.
    SLA Matrix List page is displayed.

    Figure: SLA Matrix List

  2. Select Tenant under which you should configure SLA Matrix.

  3. Click Add New in the Actions Panel to create a new SLA Matrix.
