| Choose to which Team the policy is relevant and the Minimum Priority a ticket needs to have for the policy to be applied. | Target is the stage a ticket needs to reach within the period defined to satisfy the SLA. The period is based on the ticket's creation date, and a deadline is set on the ticket's form once it matches an SLA policy rule. If a ticket has more than one policy applied to it, the closest deadline of all SLAs is the one considered. | When a ticket has satisfied an SLA policy, the SLA tag appears in green and the deadline field is not shown anymore.
