Priorities help your team organize and manage tickets based on their urgency and importance. Use four priority levels to ensure the right tickets get attention at the right time.

​
Priority levels

Ravenna provides five priority levels to categorize tickets:

No priority

Tickets that have not been assigned a priority level. These tickets should be reviewed and assigned an appropriate priority.
Nice-to-have features, minor improvements, or issues that don’t significantly impact users. These can be addressed when time permits.
Standard priority for most tickets. These are routine requests, non-critical bugs, or general support issues that can be handled in the normal workflow.
Important issues that should be addressed soon but aren’t blocking critical operations. These might include time-sensitive requests or issues affecting key processes.
Critical issues that require immediate attention. These are typically system outages, security incidents, or blocking issues that affect multiple users.

​
Set priorities

Priorities can be assigned in several ways:

During ticket creation

When creating a ticket, select the priority from the form field. The default priority is Medium unless configured differently on the .
Team members with appropriate permissions can update ticket priority at any time by clicking the priority field in ticket attributes and selecting a new level.
Select multiple tickets from the ticket list and use bulk actions to update their priorities simultaneously.
Configure to automatically set or escalate priorities based on ticket content, conditions, or events.
Set up to automatically assign priorities based on ticket content analysis.
Priority is a required field. All tickets must have a priority assigned. The default priority is Medium unless customized in form settings.
