4 Tracking Your Incidents

- All users involved in the incident can see and reply to comments.
7 SLA & Escalation
- SLA (Service Level Agreement): Each incident category has a defined SLA time.
- Breach: If the SLA time is exceeded, the incident is marked as "Overdue".
- Auto-Escalation: If an incident breaches SLA multiple times, it's automatically escalated.
- Escalation Matrix: Defines who to escalate to based on incident category and severity.
- HODs and Admins can configure escalation matrices in the admin panel.
Important: SLA breaches are tracked and count towards department performance metrics.
