=== Targets ===
Once a Service Level has been created you can then define targets that will be applied to a request and made as visible targets to be reached on each request. The targets are time based and will use the ''Working Time Calendar'' that is set against the Service Level Agreement. The available targets are optional.  You can have no targets, one target, or all targets.

Once a Service Level has been created, you can then define targets that will be applied to a request and set as visible targets to be reached on each Request. The time-based targets will use the ''Working Time Calendar'' set against the Service Level Agreement. The available targets are optional; however, you must create both targets when setting up SLA timers.

:: Each Target requires a time frame that is specified in Days, Hours, and Minutes. It is very important to be aware that the allocated time frames are calculated using the ''Working Time Calendar'' that was set on the Service Level Agreement. For example, selecting 1 Day is equal to 24 hours, and if the Working Time Calendar specifies 8 hour work days, the 1 Day would equate to 3 working days.

====Example Service Level Target Calculation====
The service level targets that you add to Hornbill relate to the working hours defined in the working time calendar specified against the SLA. This means that some calculation is required to ensure the targets you set represent the correct number of calendar days that you are advertising to your customers.

If you have a target that you advertise as 5 calendar days, you need to determine what this equates to in days, hours, and minutes in relation to the hours defined in your Working time calendar.

If you advertise a target as five calendar days, you must determine what this equates to in days, hours, and minutes to the hours defined in your Working time calendar.
  
1) Begin by multiplying your target (in calendar days) by the working hours set in your working time calendar (your working day) i.e. 5 x 9.5. Now divide the result of that by 24 (i.e. (47.5)/24) which gives your Hornbill target in days (i.e. = 1.98 days).

3) Its then a case of working out what .98 of a day is in hours – which in this case would be 24 x 0.98 = 23.52 hours.

4) You place "23" in the field representing "hours".

5) Finally, we then need to get the minutes from our answer of 23.52. Therefore, 0.52 of an hour is 31.2 minutes (i.e. 60 x 0.52 = 31.2 minutes).

Therefore the a target of 5 calendar days based on a 9.5 hour working day equates to 1 day, 23 hours, 31 minutes.
