A Service Level Agreement or SLA is a contract between a service provider and an end-user that defines the standard of service expected from the service provider.
For example, the internal SLA policy in an organization may state that infrastructure-related issues must be resolved within one week and pay-related issues within two days.
Note: If you are an Admin
user, you can set up or modify an SLA policy by going to
Settings > Support > SLA Policies.
