SLA

Service Agreements

 

This page allows you to manage your different SLAs within SysAid.

 

If this is your first time using SysAid SLA/SLM, please read our introduction to the SLA/SLM module.

 

Creating and modifying SLAs

To create a new SLA, click the new icon.

To modify an existing SLA, click on the SLA in the list.

For further instructions on creating and modifying SLAs, go here (AgreementEdit.htm)

 

Important: Once you've finished setting up your different SLAs, make sure to assign your users and companies to the appropriate SLAs. You may assign SLAs to users and companies under User Management.

 

 The list of your SLAs

 

Which SLA is applied to a service record?

  1. SysAid first looks to see if the request user of the service record has an agreement.
  2. If the request user has no attached agreement, SysAid will look to see if the request user's company has an attached agreement.
  3. If neither the request user nor the request user's company have an attached agreement, SysAid will use the default SLA for the service record.

 

The SLA of a service record is connected to the Request User for that service record. Therefore, if the Request User changes, so does the attached agreement.

 

Note: If you have only one SLA for your entire helpdesk, you can use the default SLA for everything. In this case, there is no need to assign users or companies to an SLA, as they will all use the default SLA.

If you're having trouble figuring out how to apply different SLA's to specific users/companies, then you will need to make sure that the "Agreement" field is configured as a Visible Field on the End Users/Companies properties pages. To do this:

1. Go to Preferences > User Management > End User Manager (or Companies)
2. Select a user/company
3. Click "Design Form" (the cog wheel icon)
4. From "Available Fields" select "Agreement" and add it to "Visible Fields"
5. Click Save

You should then be able to assign SLA's to specific users or companies.

Here goes a nice one....

Scenario:
My servicedesk receive phone calls and open SRs for dozens of companies. One of these companies have 3 different suppliers with different agreements(SLA).
So in the SLA->Service Agreements i created three of them:
* Supplier 1 - Specific Routing Rules, Specific Due Dates and Operating Times MTWTF 8.00Am-6.00PM
* Supplier 2 - Specific Routing Rules, Specific Due Dates and Operating Times MTWTF 7.00Am-5.00PM
* Supplier 3 - Specific Routing Rules, Specific Due Dates and Operating Times MTWTF 6.00Am-4.00PM

Question:
If the SLA is applied....
"1. SysAid first looks to see if the request user of the service request has an agreement.
2. If the request user has no attached agreement, SysAid will look to see if the request user's company has an attached agreement.
3. If neither the request user nor the request user's company have an attached agreement, SysAid will use the default SLA for the service request."

AND i can attach only ONE Contract per company or user, how do i do to use the specific SLA of that supplier when opening the SR?


Note(the request would be likely this way):

I receive a call, from my "Customer A" asking for SR on his desktop. The supplier for that desktop has its specific service agreement "Supplier 1", but theres also another call from this same "Customer A" asking for a SR on his notebook which the supplier have the service agreement "Supplier 2".

Experience:
I my expirences i saw that although i create different SLAs Supplier 1, 2 and 3, it only applies SLA to the SR when its attached to customer or company(as told in manuals). But the problem is that i have 3 different SLAs for that Customer A and i would like to use each of them related to the SR type i am opening(notebook, or desktop). Is that possible? Is there another way to achieve that?

Well... hope i've made myself clear...
