Work Item Priorities

Priorities help your team know what to tackle first. Every work item has a priority level from 1 (most urgent) to 5 (least urgent).

Setting Priority

You can set priority when creating an item or change it anytime via:

  • The detail modal (Priority dropdown on the right side)
  • Right-click context menu
  • Bulk operations (update multiple items at once)

Tips

  • 💡 Use priorities consistently across your team. Agree on what each level means for your workflow.
  • 💡 The Board and List views show priority with color-coded labels, so high-priority items are easy to spot.
  • 💡 On the My Work page, you can group items by priority to focus on what matters most.
