Account Administrators can create Custom Priority names, to be added to the Priority dropdown list based on organisational needs. These Custom Priorities are universal to your account, and will apply to all Projects in the Account.

Any Project User will be able to access the Custom Priority names, once created, from the Priority dropdown list for Tasks, Complaints and Commitments.

Custom Priority names are an excellent way to ensure you can import existing Task, Complaint or Commitment data with your organisational Priority names or labels. Further, it allows you align your prioritization in Simply Stakeholders, with your organisational prioritization terminology, or with response KPIs, etc.

Creating and editing Priority Level names
