# SLA Exclusion

SLA Exclusion is a feature that allows **specific tickets to be excluded** from **SLA calculations** through an approval-based process. Once a ticket is approved for exclusion, it is not considered in SLA metrics, breach calculations, or reports.

The SLA Exclusion module enables users to initiate, track, and manage exclusion requests for tickets that should not be evaluated under SLA policies.

## **How does it work?**

Users can raise an [Exclusion Request](/infraon-help/infinity-user-guide/ticket-management/tickets.md#sla-exclusion) by selecting one or more tickets and submitting a reason along with an approval team. The request is then reviewed by the designated team, and based on approval or rejection, the system updates the SLA applicability for the selected tickets.

All **exclusion** processes are maintained in a centralized grid under **SLA Exclusion,** where users can monitor request status, view details, and track actions.

## **Purpose of the Module**

The SLA Exclusion module is used to:

* Exclude tickets that are **not valid for SLA evaluation** (e.g., external delays, dependencies, or exceptions).
* Ensure **accurate SLA reporting** by removing irrelevant tickets from calculations.
* Provide a **controlled and auditable process** through approval workflows.
* Maintain **data integrity** across SLA dashboards, reports, and metrics.
* Enable **traceability** with audit logs for all exclusion actions.

## **What you see on the screen**

The SLA Exclusion page displays all exclusion requests in a grid view. Users can view details such as reason, status, team, and creation information. Each record can be accessed to view or manage the exclusion process.
