Applying a Default Priority to Jobs

Overview

A client's Priority and a client project's Priority is used to assist in streamlining work in the laboratory.

Process

Priority works as follows:

  • If the job is associated with a project and that project has a Priority defined, then the job's Priority defaults to this priority.

  • Otherwise, if the job is associated with a client and that client has a Priority defined, then the job's Priority defaults to this priority.

  • Otherwise, if the DEFAULT_PRIORITY application preference is defined and contains a valid xN duration, and the client nor the project for the job has a Priority defined, when you successfully create a job, then the job's Priority defaults to this priority.

  • Otherwise, if the DEFAULT_PRIORITY application preference is not defined, or it is defined but is empty, or it does not contain a valid xN duration, and the client nor the project for the job has a Priority defined, when you successfully create a job, then the job's Priority default to 5D.
