Service Timings

The Service Timings tab is a critical configuration area that defines when and how SLA metrics such as response time and resolution time are measured. It allows organizations to align SLA tracking with real-world working hours, holidays, and business contexts like customer, department, or workgroup.

This ensures that SLA commitments are realistic, context-sensitive, and measurable only during the agreed service window. It prevents violations from being logged during non-business hours (example: weekends or holidays), making SLA tracking more accurate and fair.

To access Service Timings, perform the following steps:

  1. Log in to the application as an Admin.

  2. Navigate to SLA > User > Underpinning Contract > Underpinning Contract Specification List.
    Specification List is displayed.
