Manage Default and Custom Priority | Zoho Sprints Help

Manage default and custom priority

When it comes to handling work, we need a system to identify the level of priority of a particular task. Based on this, members can take action as required. In Zoho Sprints, there are default priority levels to choose from. These levels are common across industries. They are:
  1. None: The item doesn't have any priority level associated with it.
  2. Low: The item has low priority level, implying it's impact is low or doesn't require action in the near future.
  3. Medium: The item priority level is relatively high, implying it's impact is moderate or there is reasonable time before you need to take action.
  4. High: The item has high priority level, implying it's impact is significant or it requires immediate action to avoid any major setbacks.
Allocating priority levels provides an understanding of how important an item is and what kind of attention it requires.
