# 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**.
<table>
<colgroup>
<col width="25%" />
<col width="25%" />
<col width="25%" />
<col width="25%" />
</colgroup>
<thead>
<tr class="header">
<th align="left">And/Or</th>
<th align="left">Field</th>
<th align="left">Operator</th>
<th align="left">Value</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="odd">
<td align="left"><p>And</p></td>
<td align="left"><p>Priority</p></td>
<td align="left"><p>Equals</p></td>
<td align="left"><p>Priority 1 - Business Critical</p></td>
</tr>
<tr class="even">
<td align="left"><p>Or</p></td>
<td align="left"><p>Priority</p></td>
<td align="left"><p>Equals</p></td>
<td align="left"><p>Priority 2 - Important</p></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
 
To delete a clause, right-click the row, and then click **Delete Clause**.
3. Click **Refresh**.
Your filtered results appear.
