Changing task priorities
When a user creates a project, the tasks in the projects receive a priority by default. You can change the priority of a task to make sure that the Workflow Engine Queue processes it ahead of others. However, if a task is already running, you cannot change its priority; you can only change the priority of tasks that are in the queue, waiting to run.
About this task
Task priorities are closely related to task bands. Bands are a means of assigning priorities to tasks immediately after you create a project.
task_priority_bands property. For example, if they set the value of the task_priority_bands property to 10,20,30, each project that you create will be organized according to the following four bands:
| Band | Number of tasks | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0-9 | 1 |
| 2 | 10-19 | 2 |
| 3 | 20-29 | 3 |
| 4 | 30-no upper limit | 4 |
As an example, you might have two projects: Project A and Project B. Project A only has three tasks, whereas Project B has 26 tasks. In this case, the tasks in Project A are included in Band 1 (0-9), which means that they have Priority 1 and that they are processed first, ahead of the tasks in Project B. The tasks in Project B are included in Band 3 (20-29) and they have Priority 3.
