Quality of Support (QoS) levels

Introduction

QoS stands for Quality of Support. It describes the level of support provided by Support Units in GGUS system.

It has an impact on the ticket priority colour in GGUS and the warnings are sent to SUs if 75% of the maximum response time of the QoS level are over.

There are three different QoS levels, each defining different response times for given Ticket Priority.

  • Base
  • Medium

The default QoS level, if not declared differently, is Base.
