Discussion

By default, all tasks have a priority level of 500, which is a medium level priority. The higher the priority level assigned to a task, the less likely it is that the task is selected for delay. Therefore, a task with a priority of 900 is less likely to be delayed than a task with a priority of 400 . You can also assign a priority of 1000 to a task, which indicates that the task is not to be leveled.

NOTE If you are working with multiple projects, you can set project priority levels to indicate how you want the tasks in each project leveled in relation to one another. You can also assign a task priority in a task view by double- clicking the task to open the Task Information dialog box.
