Task Priorities

Overview

Task Priorities can be assigned to Tasks on Project, Change, CAR/PAR, and Training forms. When defining a Task Priority, you can define the Name, Description and Type. To modify Task Priorities, select the Task Priorities link (Global Options section) from the Navigator.

Priorities options will be available when defining/modifying the Task in Empower Desktop (Tasks tab).
