SLA & service targets

Every ticket carries a service-level target based on its priority, so your team always knows what “on time” means — and you can prove it to a client at the end of the month.

Opentra ships with sensible default targets, measured from ticket creation:

Priority First response Resolution
Critical 1 hour 4 hours
High 2 hours 8 hours
Medium 4 hours 24 hours
Low 8 hours 72 hours

When a ticket is created, its SLA deadline is calculated from its priority and shown on the ticket, so the clock is visible while it’s being worked.

Waiting on the client, a vendor or a parts order shouldn’t count against you. Ticket statuses can be marked as holding SLA — while a ticket sits in one, its SLA clock is paused, and the held time is banked rather than counted as elapsed.

A ticket that’s been parked on hold for a long time (more than 7 days total, configurable) is excluded from SLA reporting entirely rather than recorded as a breach — so a genuinely stalled ticket doesn’t quietly wreck your numbers.

When a ticket crosses its deadline, an SLA breach notification fires to alert the team so it can be picked up — the same notification stream as new tickets and replies.

The SLA report shows first-response and resolution attainment against these targets, by client and priority, and SLA attainment is included in the automated monthly service report sent to service-agreement clients.
