Management reports can be generated to gauge how well
service levels are being met.
NOTE
Service Level Reporting is affected by the pending statuses specified when creating the service level. Events that occur and time spent in a pending status is excluded from service level reports. For details on specifying pending statuses, refer to Creating the Service Level Field. To display the list of pending statuses, select Administration | Workspace from the FootPrints Toolbar and then select Service Level Management from the Automated Workflow section of the main frame. Next, click the Edit button of the Pending Statuses List in the main frame of the Service Level Management Administration page. The Pending Statuses page is displayed. All of the statuses defined as "pending" are displayed in the Selected Statuses field.
To run a Service Level report:
Select Reports
| Metrics from the FootPrints
Toolbar and choose the Service
Level Agreements metric report in Step 1, then click GO. If
this option is not available, you may not have permission to run this
report type or service levels are not enabled in this workspace.
Select the output
type under Report
Formatting:
HTML—Display report
as HTML in a browser window.
Export—If
you chose to output the report to a text file, select a file format in
which to output the report. Format
choices are MS Excel (i.e., comma separated file), tab delimited file,
or a custom separator of your choice in a text file.
On the next page, in the first part of Step 3, select the date range on which to report in the Report on Issues Submitted fields.
Exact—Specify exact dates to search on in the period specified. Enter the date or dates to search on. Click to display a searchable calendar.
On—Specify a particular date (leave second date blank).
NOTE
When "on" a single date is chosen, and you are reporting by month, the report contains Issues for the month that date is in. If "on" a single date is chosen, and you are reporting by week, the report contains Issues for the week the date is in.
Before—Issues that were created/last edited before the date entered are returned (leave second date blank).
After—Issues that were created/edited after the date entered are returned (leave second date blank).
Between—Returns Issues created/last edited between the dates specified (use both date fields).
Relative—Searches by relative date, allowing you to create a search or report that returns Issues, for example, for the last month. Select a number from the first drop-down (1-31) and select the period from the second drop-down (Day, Week, Month, or Year).
Range—Select this to search by a particular time period, e.g., yesterday, last Sunday, etc.
For Select
SLA Time to report on, choose between whether to report on Issues
according to SLA
Due Date (the resolution time defined for this service level) or
SLA
Response Time (the amount of time allowed for Issue response for
a service level).
Select the earliest
status accepted for Issues to be considered as having met the service
level. For example, if your organization considers Issues to have met
their service level only when the Issue is closed, select Closed.
But if
your organization considers Issues to have met their service level if
they have been responded to within the resolution time frame, and you
have a status of Responded,
select that status instead.
Select fields, which
will be used to break down the Issues in the list further according to
the selected fields.
Click GO. The report output is displayed in a separate window.
The report includes the following statistics
for each service level:
Achieved—The number
of Issues and the percentage of the total that met the service level resolution
time.
Breached—The number
of Issues and the percentage of the total that did not meet the service
level resolution time.
Breached is broken down into two additional
categories:
Resolved—The number
of Issues and the percentage of the total that were eventually resolved.
Unresolved—The
number of Issues and the percentage of the total that were never resolved.
Neither—The number
of Issues and the percentage of the total that have neither achieved nor
breached their service targets, as they have not yet reached their due
date/time.
Total—The total number
of Issues for that service level in the time period specified.
