Colour Priority

Priority level is a number between 1 and 100 and priorities can be assigned to any issue in the system in order to group them based on importance rather than type of issue.

Colour coding for priority levels divides this 1-100 interval into 20 equal pieces and each interval is represented by one colour in the schema, as shown in the figure below. The highest priority level which is the interval between 100 and 96, is represented with the hottest colour tone in the scale, that is, colour 'red'.

As the priority level decreases, corresponding colour tones become closer to the colour blue, which represents the least important priority level interval, that is between 5 and 1.

The coding makes use of the CSS settings which may be edited or changed directly depending upon the site preferences.
