Creating and managing priorities

Priorities help technicians rate the importance of records and decide the precedence in which the records must be resolved. You can configure priorities to manage your records logically and effectively based on the organization's needs. The expected due date, expected fix date, and expected response date of a record are calculated based on the priority of a record. 

Using Priority Hierarchy, you can set an order of precedence for the Category, Requestor, Location, and Department modules. Based on the priority hierarchy that is configured for a group, a record is assigned a priority. For more information, see Defining priority hierarchy.

You must have the system administrator permission to create and manage priorities.
