Setting Up an SLA Policy in Fullcast

Service Level Agreement Policy

A service-level agreement (SLA) policy aims at measuring and enforcing policies relating to elapsed times between two parties. A common scenario is how long it takes for a routed lead to be reached out to by an SDR.

The SLA has been calculated based on elapsed time which takes into account working hours, holidays and vacations.
Setting a threshold time limit
Recording the elapsed time to check whether the SLA has been tripped or not.
An action that needs to be taken.
The calculation goes like this:
Start datetime - end time - (non working hours + holiday hours + vacation hours).
The time is converted into Zulu time for calculation to make it easier.

Navigating to the SLA Policy

Click on the Motion tab in Fullcast.
Select Policies by territory and click on Review policies.
Click “Add New Policy”.
From the Policy Catalog, select SLA Policy and click on Add policy.

Configuring SLA policy in fullcast UI

1. From the drop-down menu select the object for which the SLA needs to be calculated. The drop-down list includes Account, Case, Contact, Lead, Opportunity.

2. When you click on Calculate Elapsed time, Start time and End time tabs will open. From the drop-down list select the field for the start time and end time. If the end time is left unselected, then current time will be used to calculate the elapsed time.

3. In the consider section, when you select working hours, it takes into consideration the working hours set in Salesforce. When you click on Owner's vacation Schedule, it will consider the vacation period to calculate the time. Owners vacation schedule is set in the User object in Salesforce.

4. Thresholds is a mandatory section which you need to specify in order to know if the SLA is a success or failure. To add a threshold, select the ADD button. Give the threshold a name and then set the criteria. If the criteria evaluates to true, then it is considered a success.

5. For each threshold created you can set actions that need to be taken if the SLA is a success or a failure. This is an optional field. Click on actions and the Add tab is visible. Clicking on the add tab will help you to add the appropriate actions for the threshold. If you would like the elapsed time to be stamped in a field, this will be set up in the Actions section.
