The Priority Values table holds records for all the possible priority values used in the priority matrix, making it faster to set up new priority matrices. Urgencies only appear in requests if the value in the request's Service Priority Group field overlaps with the Available for Priority Group field in the Urgency record. The Urgencies table contains a record for each possible urgency value that can be selected within a request record. The Order field defines the order in which the impact is listed in the drop-down list. Within a request, the available impacts are filtered based on the priority group of the Service for the request being contained in the Impact record's Available for Priority Groups field. Each impact can be made available for one or more priority groups. The Impacts table contains all possible Impact values that can be selected in the request tables. This allows organizations to focus on which incidents to address first in mitigating impact. That will make those values available to create the priority matrix.

Then, either the existing impact and urgency records can be updated to add that priority group to the available groups, or new impact and urgency records can be created and linked to the new group. In order to set up a new priority group, the priority group must first just be created, named, and saved. For example, the priority matrix for standard service requests has six levels of priority.Īll of the wording in the priority matrix fields is defined for the specific priority group, so it is possible to have completely different priority lists for different services, as needed. They are applied based on the request type and each priority group can have its own set of urgencies, impacts, and priority matrix of values that result from all combinations of urgency and impact within a record.
