Task priorities help your team plan what to do next. Each task can have one priority, shown as a coloured flag. A new Avaza account starts with four: Urgent, High, Medium and Low.
Set a task's priority
Choose a Priority when you add a task, or open the task later and pick one from Priority. Priority is optional: clear the field to remove it.
The flag shows in its priority's colour in task lists and on board cards.
Change the list of priorities
Only Administrators can change priorities, for the whole account.
Go to Settings › Project Management Settings and find Task Priorities.
Click Add Priority.
Enter a Priority Name, a Priority Code and a Color, then click Save.
Use Up and Down in the Order column to set the order priorities appear in.
- Priority Name is what people see in the app and in reports.
- Priority Code is a name for developers making API calls. Once an integration uses it, don't change it.
- Color is the colour of the flag. Pick a clearly different colour for each priority.
- Each name and each code can be used only once.
To edit a priority, click it to open Priority Details. Delete removes the priority from the list and from every task that has it.
Plan with priorities
- Filter a task list by one or more priorities. Combine it with grouping by due date to see, say, your urgent tasks with the earliest due dates first.
- Group a project's tasks, or your My Tasks page, by Priority to see how many tasks you have at each level.
- Report on priorities in the Task List report: filter or group it by Priority. Save it and schedule it to email your team the urgent tasks every day or week.
- Build integrations: Avaza's API includes each task's priority and the list of priorities.
