SLAs

SLAs (Service Level Agreements) are a feature in ServiceNow that allows you to set and track a set of expectations surrounding the delivery of a given service. For example, if the user submits a given Service Request or an Incident, the SLA engine in ServiceNow can fire based on a set of conditions, and alert the assignee, their manager, or any specified user or group.

SLA Definitions can be found under Service Level Management | SLA | SLA Definitions:

Let's start by creating an SLA for our Virtual War Rooms, so we can ensure that they're addressed as quickly as possible.

1. Start by navigating to the SLA Definitions module of the application navigator as defined above.

2. At the top of the list of SLA Definitions, click on New.

3. For the Name field, enter Virtual War Room Work Start.

4. Make sure that the Type field, if it is on your SLA Definition form, is set to SLA.

5. Set the Table field to Virtual War Room [u_virtual_war_room] so that the SLA will only trigger on records in our Virtual War Rooms...
