This page describes the SLA Rules tab in v41.0-v41.1. If you are using v41.2, see SLA Rules Tab (v41.2).

The SLA Rules tab within the Tasks section of the application allows you to add and manage your Service Level Agreement (SLA) rules.

Filters

You can narrow your view of the SLA Rules table by clicking the All SLA Locations filter and selecting one of the following options:

• Flow and Input Listener
• Layout Variation
• System Default

SLA Rules Table

The SLA Rules table allows you to view, edit, and delete all SLA rules in your instance.

Note that you cannot delete the system-default SLA rule. To edit the system-default SLA rule, go to Administration > Settings.

The SLA Rules table has the following columns:

• SLA Name – name of the SLA rule
• SLA Location – where the SLA rule is applied. The possible values are:
  • Flow and Input Listener
  • Layout Variation
  • System Default
• SLA Rule – definition of the SLA rule
• Actions – the following two actions are available:
  • Edit Rule
  • Delete Rule

Adding an SLA Rule

From the SLA Rules tab, you can add two types of SLA rules:

• SLA rules that apply to a specific flow and a specific input listener
• SLA rules that apply to a specific layout variation

Here’s how you can add an SLA rule from the SLA Rules tab:

1. Go to Tasks > SLA Rules.
2. Click the Add SLA Rule button in the upper-right corner of the page.
3. Select where you want this SLA rule to be applied.
   • Flow and Input Listener
   • Layout Variation
4. (If you’ve selected Flow and Input Listener in step 3) Select a flow and an input listener that is configured for this flow.
5. (If you’ve selected Layout Variation in step 3) Select a parent layout and a layout variation.
6. Define how manual tasks get prioritized in the Task Queue. You can specify deadlines for each set of conditions that make sense for your business.
7. Review and Save the SLA rule.

An SLA rule is applied only to submissions that are created after the SLA rule was added to the system. SLA rules cannot be applied retroactively.
