Creating new priorities

In this recipe, we will look at how to create custom priorities.

How to do it…

Proceed with the following steps to create new priorities in JIRA:

1. Navigate to Administration | Issues | Priorities.
2. Enter the new priority's name.
3. Set an icon for the issue type. You can either click on the select image link, select an existing icon, or type in a full URL to a custom icon.
4. Select a color for the priority. The color will be used when you export issues to Excel.
5. Click on the Add button to create the new priority.

   Note

   Priorities are global, and newly created priorities will be available to all projects.
