Cases at Risk of Exceeding SLA Pagelet (RC_SLAEXCEED_PLT)

This pagelet displays the number of cases, which are assigned to provider groups of the manager selected in the logged on user's personalization settings, that are at risk of missing or already missing their SLAs. In the CRM system, a case is considered at risk of exceeding its SLA when its yellow date and time is about to pass or have passed, or exceeding its SLA when its red date and time is about to pass or have passed. A yellow or a red date and time refers to the restore time of a case that is running the risk of failing to meet its SLA. The restore time of a case is calculated based on the entitlements of the agreement that the case associates with. The calculation takes into account the service level selected on the agreement and the holiday schedule. When you save a case with an agreement selected, the restore time is computed and populated on the More tab of the Case page. As an administrator, you can configure the system to alert agents and managers of cases that are at risk of not meeting SLAs. Enable the Percent of SLA for Red and Percent of SLA for Yellow options on the Business Unit - Options page and enter the percentages of case restore time that has elapsed for the system to turn an unresolved case to red (exceeds SLA) and yellow (at risk of exceeding SLA) statuses. For example, the restore time of a newly saved case is set to 10 hours from now. If the SLA for red and SLA for yellow are set at 90 and 50 percents of the case restore time, the system turns the unresolved case to the yellow state in five hours and the red state in nine hours. As delivered, the restore dates and times for the red state and yellow state are enabled for display on Support cases.

Managers can use information provided in this pagelet to identify provider groups and agents who are struggling to meet customer SLA commitments. They see how these cases are allocated among provider groups by status and priority. With this data, they can take actions, such as reassigning cases, to balance the workload of each of their provider groups.

Case Arrivals Versus Closures Pagelet (RC_ARRIVAL_PLT)

Managers can choose the time range for which the information is presented: for the past day, the past seven days, or the past 30 days. The pagelet provides a side-by-side comparison of the numbers, giving managers an idea of how each provider group is doing in terms of workload and availability.

The data on case arrivals and case closures, as shown on this pagelet, is based on the case created date and case closed date (viewable in the Audit History section of cases).

Click a case ID link to open and edit the case in a browser window or tab.

Delivered views are available in this pagelet for agents to filter cases that they are interested in:

  • All of my cases that were modified in the past 30 days.

  • All of my cases that were modified in the past 7 days.

  • All of my open cases.

    Through this view, agents can review and cherry-pick unassigned cases to work on based on their skills and availability.
