# Select SLA Criteria

SLA criteria refer to the specific requirements and standards outlined in a Service Level Agreement (SLA) that must be met by the service provider. These criteria typically include performance metrics, service levels, and other key elements that define the expected quality of service delivery.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> A criteria is defined based on which the SLA should be calculated.

## Prerequisites

Let's start with a new SLA Rule configuration to relate between non-default SLA Rule to establish criteria and conditions. Before the **Criteria** stepper, **General** details are configured. For more details refer to [Define Rule](https://help.symphonysummitai.com/summit-platform/docs/define-rule).

## Configure Criteria

To configure SLA criteria, perform the following steps:

1. Select a Column from the Table.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> Only referenced fields are displayed, like dropdowns, tree views, etc, and not the static fields (like description, symptom).

2. Click **Next**. The Application Designer is navigated to configure conditions for the defined criteria.

**Implication of SLA Criteria in SLA Value**

Configured SLA Criteria is displayed in the SLA Value for the Application Designer to select a Value for the defined Criteria.

**Example:** In the **Priority SLA** when the SLA Criteria is selected as **Priority** from Transaction Table named **Manage Incidents*.*** Then the same is reflected in the SLA Value when the SLA Rule is selected as Priority SLA.
