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.
