Priorities are used by the priority management system to prioritize incidents and to-dos. When priorities are entered in the Master Information section, these are then available for use when entering or updating incidents and to-dos.

To access the master list of priorities, go to CRM > Setup > Master Information > Incident Priorities. The following screen will appear.
The List Priorities screen displays information on all existing priorities, including priority order, name, and description.
