Target Times Form

Use the Target Times form to define and manage your SLA Target Times. The Target Time form is a Child form, and is linked to and available from its parent SLA form (SLA Target Times tab in the SLA form's Arrangement area). The Target Times form has a wizard interface, which allows you to easily move through the process of creating Target Times. However, you also have the option to disable the wizard and simply use the Review page (which includes identical information) to create the Target Times.

For more information about creating Target Times, see Create a Service Catalog (Service, SLA, Priority Structure).

The following image shows the Review page:
