[ACT Settings](https://help.fldata.com/kb/events-action-items-act?hsLang=en#act-settings) # Priorities ## Priorities help organize Events and Action Items for prioritizing, tracking, reporting, and overall ACT management. ### **Below are the Guidelines for Priorities** - ACT Power or Super User's at the division level are able to view, create, and edit priorities using the Settings \> Priorities section. - The ability to view priorities in divisions outside of a users default division is determined by organization permissions. - The default priorities automatically added to the ACT module are high, medium, and low. - The priority of any assigned ACT is prominently displayed on the Frontline Desktop, allowing ACT role players to prioritize tasks. - A priority system could consist of the default priorities, a numbering system 1-10 or any priority system the company is already using. - Priority systems are set at the division level and different priority systems can be created for Events and Action Items. ### **How to Create a Priority** 1. Navigate to ACT \> Settings \> **Priorities** 2. Select **New** from the toolbar. 3. Enter the **name** of the priority in the Priority field. 4.

Modify the Active and Inactive dates, if necessary. 9. Select **Save** on the toolbar. Effective the active date the priority will be available to for users to select.
