To change Tasks priority

When a Project is created, its Tasks are assigned a priority by default. If you have permission to do so, you can change the priority of all the Tasks or of individual Tasks within a project in the Change Task Priorities dialog box. You cannot change the priority of a running Task, only the priority of a Task that is in queue, waiting to run.

Different bands are created and written to the configuration file. The lower and upper limits of bands specify the number of Tasks that a project must have so that the project Tasks are assigned a particular priority.

For example, the following information exists by default in the configuration file regarding Tasks bands: 10, 20, 50, 100. This means that the existing bands are 0-9, 10-19, 20-49, 50-99, 100 - no upper limit. There are as many priorities as there are bands, and these are by default 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Priority 1 corresponds to the band 0-9, priority 2 to the band 10-19, so on. Higher priorities have lower absolute numbers. For example, Tasks with priority 1 are the highest priority and will be processed first. Therefore, if a project has eight Tasks, all of its Tasks will have priority 1. If a project has 21 Tasks, all of its Tasks will have priority 3.
