# Task Priorities
Assigning priority levels to tasks allows managers to strategically allocate resources, optimize workflows, and enhance time management. By identifying high-priority tasks critical to organizational goals, managers ensure that limited resources are directed toward activities that drive success. This practice aids in risk mitigation, supports goal achievement, and contributes to client and stakeholder satisfaction by addressing urgent matters promptly.
From this menu, network admins can manage the pre-shipped task priorities, reorder task priorities, and create new task priorities levels.
Displayed is the list of all task priorities on the domain. Drag-and-drop the task priorities to reorder how they will be listed in the user portal dropdown menus.
Network admins can edit the label and icon of the pre-shipped task priorities or create new task priorities.
To make changes to existing priority levels, hover over the priority and click the **Edit** or **Delete** option. Deleting a task priority only removes the association of the priority from the task on the User Portal.\
Pre-shipped task priorities **can** be deleted.
{% hint style="danger" %} Once a priority level has been deleted it **cannot** be recovered and must be re-created.
{% endhint %}
