This customer service report shows SLA compliance over a period of time. Managing trends toward a higher goal can dramatically increase customer satisfaction.

Service level agreements can contain numerous service performance metrics with corresponding service level objectives. A common case in IT service management is a call center or service desk. Metrics commonly agreed to in these cases include:

• ABA (Abandonment Rate): Percentage of calls abandoned while waiting to be answered.
• ASA (Average Speed to Answer): Average time (usually in seconds) it takes for a call to be answered by the service desk.
• TSF (Time Service Factor): Percentage of calls answered within a definite timeframe, e.g., 80% in 20 seconds.
• FCR (First-Call Resolution): Percentage of incoming calls that can be resolved without the use of a callback or without having the caller call back the helpdesk to finish resolving the case.
• TAT (Turn-Around Time): Time taken to complete a certain task.

Uptime is also a common metric, often used for data services such as shared hosting, virtual private servers and dedicated servers. Common agreements include percentage of network uptime, power uptime, number of scheduled maintenance windows, etc.

Many SLAs track to the Information Technology Infrastructure Library specifications when applied to IT services.

Now review the detail to determine why these tickets are out of SLA. You can sort all headings to get see patterns and export to a PDF or CSV file and send to others as appropriate. Perhaps you can see if there is a common problems with a group of categories which is the "nature of request". On the right column, you can see the business days over/under SLA.

An important best practice is to never stop the SLA clock from ticking so that problems are not hidden. Giva has the ability to put a ticket on "hold" which is a type of designation whereby the amount of time the ticket was on "hold" is automatically calculated and booked into the ticket history as a note when the ticket is taken off "hold". So, if a tickets is out of SLA you can easily trace this back to a specific reason. Also, Administrators have the ability to back date the close of a ticket and a reason is required. There is also a report that shows tickets where the close was backdated.
