Prioritizing Your Compatibility Data (Windows 10)	103e125a-bd2b-4019-9d6a-2e1d50c380b1		w10	plan	appcompat	library	TrudyHa

Prioritizing Your Compatibility Data

Applies to

• Windows 10
• Windows 8.1
• Windows 8
• Windows 7
• Windows Server 2012
• Windows Server 2008 R2

You can prioritize your applications, websites, computers, and devices to help customize and filter your compatibility reports. The priority levels are:

• Priority 1 - Business Critical. The highest priority level, applied to an item that is so important to your organization that a compatibility issue with the item would keep you from deploying a new operating system.

• Priority 2 - Important. Items that your organization regularly uses but can function without.

• Priority 3 - Nice to Have. Lower-priority items that you want to show in your compatibility reports that do not belong in either of the previous two categories.

• Priority 4 - Unimportant. Items that are irrelevant to the daily functions of your organization.

• Unspecified. The default priority level, applied to items that have not yet been reviewed for deployment.

Prioritizing Your Applications, Computers, Devices, and Websites

The following example uses the <Operating_System> - Application Report screen. You can alternatively use the <Application_Name> dialog box. The procedure is the same on the reports for computers, devices, and websites.

To change the priority

1. On the <Operating_System> - Application Report screen, click the name of the application.

2. On the Actions menu, click Set Priority.

3. Click a priority, and then click OK.

To filter your data by priority

1. On the <Operating_System> - Application Report screen, click Toggle Filter.

2. Enter your filter criteria, pressing the Tab key to add clauses.

   Consider the following example, which shows a query that filters for all applications that have a priority level of Business Critical or Important.

   And/Or	Field	Operator	Value
   And	Priority	Equals	Priority 1 - Business Critical
   Or	Priority	Equals	Priority 2 - Important

    

   To delete a clause, right-click the row, and then click Delete Clause.

3. Click Refresh.

   Your filtered results appear.
