Configure Service Desk business hours

Configure Service Desk business hours

You can configure the Service Desk to account for business hours when calculating due dates for tickets. If you have multiple organizations, you configure business hours for each organization separately.

After you configure Service Desk business hours, you need to enable ticket queues to use those hours in their Service Level Agreement (SLA) settings.

1.
Go to the Business Hours page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Service Desk, then click Configuration.
c.
On the Configuration panel, in the Business Hours and Holidays section, click Define business hours.
2.
For each day of the week, specify the hours of operation by providing the starting and ending time, by selecting the Open 24 Hours check box, or by selecting the Closed check box.
3.
Click Save.

Configure queues to use business hours in SLAs. See Configure ticket queues.

Configure Service Desk holidays

Configure Service Desk holidays

You can configure the Service Desk to account for company holidays when calculating due dates for tickets. If you have multiple organizations, you configure the holiday schedule for each organization separately.

After you configure Service Desk holidays, you need to enable ticket queues to use those holidays in their Service Level Agreement (SLA) settings.

1.
Go to the Holidays page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Service Desk, then click Configuration.
c.
On the Configuration panel, in the Business Hours and Holidays section, click Define holidays.
2.

Configuring Service Level Agreements

Configuring Service Level Agreements

Enable Service Level Agreements

Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are the rules used to calculate the expected resolution time, or due dates, for Service Desk tickets based on ticket priority.

You can set the expected resolution time for each ticket priority, and you can enable SLAs to take the defined business hours and holidays into consideration when calculating due dates. For example, if tickets with a priority of Low are set to be resolved in two days, and a Low priority ticket is submitted the day before a holiday, the holiday is excluded from the two-day resolution time when calculating the due date.

In addition, if notifications and email events are enabled, email is sent to users specified in the SLA Violation email event when tickets are overdue. The frequency of email notifications is configured in the SLA settings, and notifications are sent according to that frequency, even if that frequency includes non-working hours or holidays.

Enable Service Level Agreements

Enable Service Level Agreements

Service Level Agreements (SLAs) define the time allowed to resolve tickets in each queue. If you have multiple Service Desk queues, you configure SLA settings for each queue separately.

SLAs are based on the priority values defined in the queue, so these values should be defined before SLAs are configured. See Customize ticket priority values. In addition, SLAs can use business hours and holidays only if those hours and holidays have been defined. See Configuring Service Desk business hours and holidays.
