Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on
this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated
to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether
that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can
long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We
have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting
place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might
live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not
consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men,
living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far
above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little
note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never
forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be
dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought
here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be
here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that
from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that
cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion —
that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died
in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of
freedom — and that government of the people, by the people,
for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

1. Introduction
The goal of the project is to design and implement a user-friendly interface that will allow Domain Managers to access (read and/or write access) the business rules that are implemented in the workflow to enforce Service Level Agreements in the PRMS application.
The goal of this document is to propose a design for the SLA form that meets all the requirements, as described in the User Requirement Document, version 2.4.
The rest of this document presents typical use cases and snapshots of the corresponding screens of the Remedy User Tool for better clarity.
Section 2 describes Typical use cases for creating/modifying SLA business rules:
1. Accessing DomainAdministration form
2. Creating a New SLA Entry
3. Modifying a SLA Entry
4. Copying an existing SLA Entry
5. Deleting a SLA Entry
Section 3 describes additional PRMS Templates in order to send the SLA alarms.
Section 4 describes how to modify the PRMS Template “New” that sends the acknowledgement mail to the user as it will make use of SLA variables.
Notes:
1. All forms will be called without the prefix “PRMS:” for easier reading of the document.
2. As usual, in a form, mandatory fields are in Bold.

“If all you want to do is create a file of facts and figures, then cancel the meeting and send in a report. Do it in PowerPoint if you want, but it’s not a presentation, it’s a report. It will contain whatever you write down, but don’t imagine for a second that you’re powerfully communicating any ideas.”
