Key Feature

Description

  • Configure SLA at a workflow state level

In the earlier versions, the SLA can be configured only at the business service level. Now it has been enhanced in a way that either the SLA can be configured at a business service level for a business service or it can be configured at each workflow state in the business service.

If a business service has 3 workflow states A-B-C , now there can be an SLA definition for application movement from A to B and one a separate definition for movement from B-C

  • Escalate the application to a role if there is a breach in SLA

Either if the SLA breach is at the business service level or at the workflow state level, the application can be configured to move the application from an existing state to a role.

For Example: If the config is in breach of SLA move the application to the Field inspector role, then the application will be moved automatically to the role field inspector when the SLA timeline is reached.

  • Make the application status as deemed approved or reject on breach of an SLA

On breach of an SLA either at the business service level or at the workflow state level, it can be configured to make the application deemed approved or rejected.

Deemed reject will come in use cases where citizen fails to take any action

Deemed approval will come in use cases where employees fail to take action within the stipulated SLA

  • Escalate the application to the next logical step in the workflow ladder if there is a breach in SLA

On breach of SLA in a workflow state, it can be configured to move the application to the next logical stage in the workflow ladder.

For example: if the flow of the application is from A-B-C, now in step B if there is a breach in SLA, automatically the application will be moved to step C.
