Priority represents a records level of importance, a factor in driving workflow, and a searchable element for SmartSolve© records. When defining Priority in the system, you may also identify a Ranking Numeric Value, so that the SmartSolve© system can identify the Priority by a number rather than a name.
Rank allows ranges to be used when setting up your SmartSolve© Policies and/or Procedures (i.e., < or >).
Priorities are used in the following SmartSolve© solutions:
