Call Centre

SLA Monitor Configuration

The Service Level Agreement Monitor is an additional service that can be implemented.

With this service, selected employees will receive notification emails when calls have reached the set SLA percentages, or gone over their SLA.

The SLA Monitor Service must be installed, configured and running for notifications to be sent.

A work shift must be set up for the SLA monitor to calculate business hours.

SLA Hours can be configured on a Service / Rental contract, as well as on a machine not linked to a contract.

The SLA can be viewed and monitored in the call screen and by reporting.

Ribbon Access: Call Centre > SLA Monitoring Configuration

The SLA Monitoring Configuration screen will be displayed.

SLA Warning Levels

  • Warning level 1:  The first warning e-mail is sent out. In this case 25% of the time on the SLA has elapsed and the call has not yet been resolved.
  • Warning level 2:  The second warning e-mail will be sent when 50% of the time on the SLA has elapsed.
  • Warning level 3:  The third e-mail will be sent when 75% of the SLA time has elapsed.
  • Violation Repeat Level:  This will send an e-mail every time 95% of the SLA time elapses until the call is resolved.

SLA Check Exclusions

In the Selected column, click on the check box of the call types that you wish to be excluded from the SLA monitor.

  • The example has Installation, New Deal Rental, New Deal Sale and Scheduled Maintenance selected to be omitted from the SLA monitor warning emails.

SLA Not Computed

Select the Call Status you wish to exclude from the SLA monitor.

  • You may wish to exclude a call on hold because you are waiting for a reply from the customer and you do not want the time that lapses to run off against the SLA time.

Priority Factors

  • Priority 1: If a call is logged as a priority 1 call, the SLA time is 25% of what is setup on the SLA.
    • For example, the SLA is 8 hours. 25% of 8 hours is 2 hours, so if a call is logged as a Priority 1, then the Call Centre will have 2 hours to resolve the call before it goes into the SLA Violation Repeat Level.
  • Priority 2: Will be 50% of the SLA time.
    • If the SLA is 8 hours, then the Call Centre will have 4 hours to resolve the call.
  • Priority 3: Will be 75% of the SLA time.
    • If the SLA is 8 hours, then the Call Centre will have 6 hours to resolve the call.
  • Priority 4: Will be 100% of the SLA time.
    • If the SLA is 8 hours, then the Call Centre will have the full 8 hours to resolve the call.
  • Priority 5: Will have no SLA time calculation and the call can be resolved at any time.
