Task prioritization is the process of assigning order to tasks based on their urgency and importance. The goal is to improve your time management and productivity by focusing on and organizing the tasks you need to complete.
Tasks with higher priority will be executed before the ones with lower priority.
Unattended activities are executed in a first-in-first-out order with a lower priority than attended activities and other direct interaction from users. Resources allocated to unattended activities are capped to ensure that the system is responsive to any users interacting with it.
Task priority does nothing technical. You can use it to sort tasks by priority or other purposes.
So the resource allocation like cpu time , memory etc of high priority task will be more comparatively the lower task , is this not true?
hi i don't think so Appian's resource allocation doesn't directly translate to CPU time or memory allocation.
Task priority in Appian is meant on a business task level. This does not have any technical implications. We use that to steer task acceptance by task workers and teams.
It is just a visual field for the end user. No real impact on the system
