SLA Policies (known as entitlement process in the older setup experience) are timelines
that include all the steps (or milestones) that your support team must complete to resolve
support records like cases or work orders. Each policy includes the logic necessary to determine
how to enforce the correct service level for your customers.
Required Editions
Not all entitlements require SLA policies. For example, an entitlement might just state that
a customer is eligible for phone support and business hours define phone support to be 24/7.
If you need to add more to that definition—for example, if certain people must be emailed
after a customer's case goes unresolved for two hours—use an SLA policy.
