Web-Based Training
Achieving Service Excellence – The SLA Component – Interactive web-based training in Learn@Work to bring awareness to Incident SLAs:

- Their purpose
- Their importance
- Their indication in ServiceNow
Note: The training encompasses information about email notifications that are sent when 50%, 75%, and 100% of an incident’s SLA elapses.
All assignment groups within WashU IT End User Services (EUS) receive these notifications. Other assignment groups will not receive the notifications unless requested. To request the email notifications for your assignment group(s), please submit a request for a ServiceNow Platform Config.
