# Priority column (Trips table)

> What the Priority column in Dispatch Planner v2 shows, how row colors follow priority, and how to set or remove a load's priority from the grid.

Part of the [Dispatch Planner column reference](/en/help/loads-trips/dispatch-planner-columns).

The **Priority** column shows the priority set on the trip's load: **Critical**, **Important**, or **Caution**. The whole row is tinted to match, so urgent trips stand out in the table. You can set or remove the priority right in the cell.

## At a glance

| | |
| - | - |
| **Table** | Trips |
| **Shown by default** | Yes |
| **Sort** | Yes |
| **Filter** | Pick one or more values from a list: **Critical**, **Important**, **Caution** |
| **Who sees it** | Everyone who can open Dispatch Planner v2 |
| **Edit in the grid** | Yes. Click the cell and pick a priority. |

## What does each priority mean?

| Priority | Badge and row tint | Meaning |
| - | - | - |
| **Critical** | Red | The highest priority. |
| **Important** | Orange | The middle priority. |
| **Caution** | Yellow | The lowest priority that still flags the trip. |
| Dash | No tint | No priority is set. |

## How do I set or remove a priority?

1. Click the **Priority** cell on the trip.
2. Pick **Critical**, **Important**, or **Caution**. To remove the priority, pick the dash at the top of the list. You can type to narrow the list.
3. The change saves straight away and the planner shows **Priority updated**. If the save fails, the planner shows **Could not update priority** and puts the previous value back.

You can also right-click a trip and choose **Priority**, which asks you to confirm before it saves and offers **Remove** to clear the priority. To set the priority on many trips at once, use **Bulk Set Priority**. See [How to Use Bulk Actions in Dispatch Planner](/en/help/loads-trips/how-to-use-bulk-actions-in-dispatch-planner).

## Why did other trips change too?

**Priority belongs to the load, not the trip.** Setting it on one trip sets it for every trip on that load, so all of that load's rows pick up the new priority and row tint. The same is true when you remove it.

## How do sort and filter treat trips with no priority?

**Trips with no priority always sort last.** Sort ascending to put **Critical** first, then **Important**, then **Caution**. Sort descending to reverse those three. In both directions, trips with no priority stay at the bottom.

**The filter has no option for "no priority".** You can pick **Critical**, **Important**, **Caution**, or any mix of them, but you cannot filter to trips without a priority.
