Managing service targets

If the BMC Service Level Management application is installed, the Incident Request form shows both overview and in-depth information about the incident in relation to the applicable service targets. You can view request-based service targets attached to incident requests. This enables you to see whether the service target has been met, missed, or is in a warning state.

The following video presentation describes how to use service targets to prioritize incident requests.

Although the concepts and procedures presented in this video are correct, the user interfaces shown are not current.
