Tasks

What is priority

RE: Tasks

Hi Gareth,

Thank you for your question.

When you create a task, in the task information box you can set a priority level of between 1 and 1000.

When you assign resources to a task, sometimes you will assign a resource to two jobs on the same day. Project will mark that resource as overallocated.

If Resource Levelling is used to resolve the overallocation, the lower the number, the more likely the task will be delayed to resolve the problem.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon
