Task Severities

Tasks are assigned a severity level to help you prioritise them in the task inbox. The most severe tasks appear at the top of the inbox. Some severity levels are assigned by the system, while others can be configured.

The table below lists all task severity levels used in Opus Compliance Cloud, ordered from highest to lowest severity.

	Major	Typically used by default for tasks such checklists/document reminders and corrective actions.
	Minor	Often used by default for employee tasks, such as e-learning reminders.
	Advisory	The default base severity level. Commonly used for newly reported tasks, advisory corrective actions, or tasks created through custom configurations.
