The term 'Start Condition' in an SLA refers specifically to the trigger that initiates the SLA process. This means that when certain predefined criteria are met, the SLA is activated, and the tracking of performance against the requirements of the SLA begins. This start condition is crucial for ensuring that the SLA is only applied when appropriate, allowing for accurate monitoring and reporting of service level commitments from that moment forward.

Understanding the significance of the start condition is essential for managing SLAs effectively, as it defines the point at which service performance will be evaluated against the established standards. This initiation can be based on various factors, such as the creation of an incident, service request, or another predefined event within the ServiceNow platform. Thus, having a clear grasp of what triggers the start of SLAs ensures proper alignment with organizational goals and performance measurement.
