Priority in Complex.so

Priority is an attribute that helps you indicate the importance of a task. It ensures that you and your team can focus on what matters most by identifying which tasks require immediate attention. You can choose from the following priority levels: Low, Medium, High, and Urgent.

Why Priorities Matter

Assigning priorities helps you:

  • Organise your work based on urgency.

  • Communicate task importance to your team.

  • Ensure critical tasks are completed on time.

Setting a Priority

To set or update a task's priority:

  1. Open the task you want to edit.

  2. Locate the Priority field and select the desired level: Low, Medium, High, or Urgent.

Alternatively, you can quickly adjust priorities in list or Kanban views by hovering over the task and updating the priority directly.

Grouping and Sorting by Priority

You can organise tasks by priority using grouping or sorting:

  • Grouping by Priority: This option creates sections for each priority level (Low, Medium, High, Urgent, or Unsorted for tasks with no priority assigned) and places tasks under the corresponding group. This provides a clear overview of tasks at each priority level.

  • Sorting by Priority: Sorting arranges tasks within their current column or list based on priority. You can sort from Low to High or High to Low, helping you focus on what’s most important while keeping tasks organised.

Both options make it easy to manage tasks efficiently and ensure priorities are clear at a glance.

Set reminders for Urgent Tasks

We recommend you to set reminders for urgent tasks so you get to stay on top of things.

Keep It Simple

To maintain clarity, Complex.so uses four predefined priority levels. This strikes a balance between flexibility and simplicity, ensuring priorities remain meaningful without becoming overwhelming. For more granular organisation, consider using Labels or Statuses to further refine your tasks.

By using priorities effectively, you can stay focused, communicate urgency, and keep your tasks and projects on track.
