SLA Violation Reason Configuration for Problem Management Module

Read Complete Release Notes

Feature released in SummitAI IT Service Management (Denali SP1, Problem Management)

What's New?

Now, the Administrators can configure the SLA Violation Reasons for the RCA Violation or Resolution Violation. When the RCA Deadline or Resolution Deadline is violated on the PROBLEM RECORD page, the user can select configured RCA Violation Reason or Resolution Violation Reason. 

Business Benefits

  • The user can select exact RCA Violation Reason or Resolution Violation Reason whenever the RCA Deadline or Resolution Deadline is violated instead of specifying it.
  • The Analysts can filter Problem Records based on the RCA Violation Reason or Resolution Violation Reasons.

Note:

If the SLA Violation Reason is not configured for the particular Tenant, the user can not submit the Problem Record when the RCA Deadline or Resolution Deadline is violated.

UI Change

UI changes are made on the following pages:

  • Problem Management module

A new menu item, SLA Violation Reason is added under the Configuration section of the Problem Management module. For more information on SLA violation reason, see Configuration.

  • PROBLEM RECORD page

The RCA Violation Reason and Comment fields are enabled on the PROBLEM RECORD page when RCA Deadline violated. The user can now select RCA Violation Reason and specify the comments (if the Comment field is mandatory) when the Status of the Problem Record (PR) is changed to the RCA Submitted, RCA Approved, or RCA Reviewed after the RCA Deadline, based on the Deadline Criteria configuration. For more information on SLA violation reason, see Configuring SLA Violation Reason.

Also, the Resolution Violation Reason and Comment fields are enabled on the PROBLEM RECORD page when the Resolution Deadline violated. The user can select Resolution Violation Reason and specify the comments (if the Comment field is mandatory) when the PR is resolved after the configured Resolution Deadline. For more information on configuring deadline, see Configuring Deadlines.

Note:

RCA violation reasons and resolution violation reasons are populated in the RCA Violation Reason and Resolution Violation Reason fields respectively based on the SLA Violation Reason configuration for the particular Tenant.
