AService Level Agreement (SLA)in ServiceNow is a tracking mechanism that ensures tasks are completed within a specified time frame. SLAs help inmonitoring and enforcing deadlinesfor various tasks, such as incidents, changes, or service requests.
Tracks Task Duration
SLAs calculate theelapsed timesince a task was created and determine if it meets or breaches the defined resolution targets.
Ensures Timely Completion
SLAs definestart, pause, and stop conditionsbased on specific criteria (e.g., an incident must be resolved within 8 hours).
Visual Indicators
SLAs includeprogress bars, warning alerts, and breach notificationsto help users track deadlines.
