10.1.1 About Item Priorities

The default setting when composing and sending any of the item types in GroupWise Web is Standard. Items sent with the Standard priority have no graphical distinction from each other. However, when you change the priority to High or Low, the icon for email items change to indicate the applicable priority. Also, when viewing items with one of these priorities from an open item or in the Preview Pane, the applicable banner (see below) displays at the top of the message area.
