SLA first time reply vs next reply policies

Hi all,

I have created an SLA policy with the following: 

First reply time:

Urgent    High    Normal    Low
  15m      15m      15m        2hr
 
Resolution time
Urgent    High    Normal    Low
  4hr        12h      24hr        72hr

We need to update our clients every hour, should I put this at Periodic update? or next reply time?

Now I would like to see all the SLA's countdowns in my view. However I can only see the 'resolution time SLA'. How to solve this?

Hi Bjorn,

Once the First reply time is already fulfilled, the countdown timer showing on the view for this target will also disappear.

With regards to needing to update your clients every hour, it really depends. 

Next reply time is measured from the oldest unanswered customer comment and stops when an agent makes a public comment. So this is good to use if the every-hour update you're planning is starting from an end-user message.

Periodic update on the other hand measures the time between each public comment from agents. Think of this as how often you want your customers to be provided updates from your team. This metric uses the agent’s public comment as a starting point and resets after each public comment an agent makes. This is good to use if you want to provide an hourly update regardless if there is a message from your end-users or not.

You can check the article Defining SLA policies for more info.

Hope this helps.

Hi, many thanks for your reply. The first time reply doesn't show in my SLA column.

Hi Bjorn‍ , 
 
In order to investigate your issue further, I'll need to take a look inside your account. Right now the Account Assumption feature is disabled, but if you change the account assumption setting to “Enabled” you can grant me temporary access to troubleshoot the issue within your account. Please note that when you change the setting of this feature, all administrators listed on your account will receive a notification email. 
 
If you’d like to enable this, please follow these instructions to access your settings. It would be very helpful if you were able to set access to at least “one week” in the event that this ticket needs more time to be assisted. Once enabled, please respond to this ticket and I'll be happy to help the best I can. 
 
Please also provide a sample ticket and the name of the view that I need to check.
 
Thank you.

Hi Bjorn,
 
Good day.
 
When checking, the account assumption is currently turned off for the account under aviobook subdomain. Can you verify if it is already on by following these instructions to access your settings? If it is for a different subdomain, please let me know so that I can switch the ticket association to the correct one.
 
Thank you.

Hi Bjorn,
 
Sorry about that, I deleted the message now.
 
I created a new ticket where we can exchange messages without the confidential data being shown here. Please reply to the email I will be sending.
 
I will be closing this ticket now. Thank you.
