SLA Overview

Gemini SLA lets you define different levels of customer treatment so you can meet your obligations and focus on what matters right now.

.

Enabling SLA

You will want to first ensure that the SLA app is enabled. Please navigate to Customize > Apps > Event Apps, from here, check the checkbox to enable the "SLA" app.

Ensure that the SLA Field is visible for those processes that you wish to associate with the SLA app.

Select the screen option (viewing section) for the Process that you want to associate with SLA.

Verify that on the items grid page you can see the SLA in the Options drop down

Specifying an SLA Calendar

This option is only available in version 6.8.1 or higher

Go to Customize > Rules and SLA > and the Working Days Calendar is in the left hand menu bar.

Add a calendar by assigning it a name and description. You must specify the working days of the week and then choose the non working days. If you enter the non working days manually, Gemini will prompt with a calendar control for you to select the dates from. You can also upload a CSV file of dates for Gemini to import.

Having selected the non working dates for the calendar you can now assign that calendar to an SLA.

Note The SLA Calendar functionality is ignored if the calendar is a 24 x 7 calendar.
