Setting up SLAs allows you to set deadlines on a task. Once enabled, you can set the following deadlines:

  • Incident time will automatically populate as task created date (but you can edit it)

  • Due date and time for a technician to be on site

  • Due date and time for the task to be performed

Setup

You will need the SLA extension turned on. Please reach out to [email protected] if you need this enabled.

We will add optional information and images under these arrows.

How to setup an SLA Scheme

How to apply an SLA scheme to a task

1. Create a task (from the Task list or from a Property > Task tab)

2. Under Scope of works, is the SLA dropdown. Select the SLA scheme that applies to this task.

3. Click Set advanced due times to review the Incident time, Due (on site) and Due (performed) dates.


These should auto-populate with the interval you set up in your SLA scheme.

4. Complete any other required fields and click Create. You will now see your SLA details on the task under the profitability table.

What do the different colours mean?

Once a Task is in progress, the On Site date time will be set.
Once a Task is performed, the Performed date time will be set.
​​

The On-site and Perform by SLA times will change colour to represent whether it was achieved within the SLA.

GREEN = On-site/performed date time is within the SLA

RED = On-site/performed date time is not within the SLA


Viewing SLAs on the tasks lists

1. To view tasks with an SLA set, click Change columns > select "Change columns", then tick "(SLA) On site by" and "(SLA) Performed by".
