# Priority

Defines the level of urgency or importance of a [task](task.md) or [workflow](workflow.md).

The priority is an optional task and workflow property.

## Configuration

PageSeeder has three predefined priority levels: High, Medium and Low.

[Managers](../../../_external/ps/doc/help/help/2_terms_and_explanations/term/manager.md) can change the values for the priority levels in the [group properties](group_properties.md) and can define up to two additional priority levels.

> **Warning:** If you change the number or the order of priority levels, you also need to re-index the group, so that they are sorted correctly in the search results. 

## User interface

In the user interface, the priority is represented as colored circle:

| No priority | circle lighter-grey |
| --- | --- |
| From highest to lowest level | circle red circle orange circle yellow circle green circle blue |

> **Tip:** PageSeeder only allocates five colors for priority level so if you define more than five levels of priority, your users might not be able to distinguish between them as easily.
