service level agreement (SLA)

A service level agreement defines the lifecycle and workflow of a work request. If you have not opted in to using the Building Operations Console, then the workflow is based on service requests.

The SLA defines rule mechanisms for such information as:

• the service provider (external vendor or employee) to complete the task
• the service window for completing and responding to the task
• procedures for approving the service request
• procedures for notifying various staff, including the requestor, on the status of the request
• option to allow the requestor to verify and comment on completed work
• generation of a work request to handle the requested service

The service desk manager can create multiple SLAs for the same request type, allowing parameters such as the requester, location, division, and equipment to dictate different priority levels, approval procedures, and response times.
