You can assign a priority to any task in the list. A supervisor may define up to 5 levels of task priority and may specify the default priority level for when new tasks are added. The standard OfficeTalk configuration provides three levels of task priority named: "High", "Medium" and "Low". The default priority is "Medium".
You can change the priority of a project task in the following way:
Show the Priority Marker column.
Whilst keeping the Ctrl key depressed, click on the priority marker. The project task's priority will increase.
Repeatedly click on the priority marker until the desired priority is displayed. The priority of the task will increase each time you click on the marker. If the task priority is already 1 then clicking on the priority marker will change the priority to 5.
Once each task has been assigned the appropriate priority, you may wish to sort the task list by priority such that the highest priority tasks are shown at the top of the list. You can do this by clicking the left mouse button on the priority column header.
Alternatively, you may wish to show only tasks with a certain priority. For example, you can filter the project task list to show only priority 1 tasks in the following way:
Locate a priority 1 task in the task list. Click the right mouse button on the priority 1 marker. The context menu will appear.
Select "Filter by High". Only priority 1 tasks will be shown in the task list.
