Task priorities

Define your priority levels

In Alloy, priorities are defined by the Task Priorities design. Create items of this design to define the available priority levels for tasks within your organisation. When someone creates/edits an inspection or job, they can set its Priority attribute by choosing one of those items from a list.

Some example priorities are illustrated below.
