# Creating a Priority
Step 1: From the **Priorities** module home page, click **Create Priority**.
Step 2: If client-level priorities are enabled, select a client by scrolling through the list or using the search box to filter. When the client is found, click **Select**.
{% hint style="info" %}
If only tenant-level priorities are enabled, the user will go directly to Step 4.
{% endhint %}
Step 3: Click **Next**.
Step 4: Enter a priority name and additional information into the fields on the page.
1. **Priority (required**): The title of the priority.
2. **Status**: The status of the overall priority.
3. **Severity**: The severity of the overall priority.
4. **Priority author:** This value auto-populates with the user's email who created the priority. Another email can be selected by clicking within the box and choosing from the pulldown menu.
5. **Priority owner**: The priority owner. Select the priority owner(s) by clicking within the box and choosing from the pulldown menu.
6. **Identification date**: This is the date that the priority was identified. The priority may have been determined or observed at a prior date.
7. **Priority description**: An RTF field to enter the description of the priority.
8. **Recommendation**: An RTF field to enter a recommendation for remediating the priority. A recommendation is the ideal advice or guidance to address a particular issue or concern. It suggests a best practice or a course of action to help prevent or mitigate security risks.
9. **Treatment**: An RTF field to enter a treatment of the priority. Treatments are the remediation taken, often not the ideal recommendation due to resource and time constraints.
10. **Treatment owners**: A list of owner(s) who will own the priority treatment.
11. **Tags**: Enter any tags associated with the client (new or existing). Any special characters will be removed, and any spaces will be replaced with an underscore (\_).
12. **Target remediation date**: Identifies the ideal date on which findings for the priority will be resolved. Place the cursor in the field box to select a date from the calendar.
13. **Actual remediation date**: Identifies the date that the priority was remediated. Place the cursor in the field box to select a date from the calendar.
14. **Likelihood (score)**: Select a number from one to ten to denote the probability that the findings and assets in this priority will result in malicious actions.
15. **Impact (score)**: Select a number from one to ten to denote the effects of malicious actions on the findings and assets in this priority.
16. **Priority score**: This value is the product of the two factors (likelihood and impact values) entered previously.
17. **Reason for score**: This field allows for an explanation for others on the rationale for entering the values used for the priority score.
Step 5: Scroll back to the top of the page and click **Save.**
The information entered is presented on the priority details page.
This page is the **Details** tab view, which is reached by clicking **View** under the "Actions" column in the row of an existing priority on the **Priorities** module home page.
