WO Priority

WO Priority

As to effectively organize the activities pending scheduling, specific priority assignment rules for WO shall be defined. Therefore, given a set of schedulable activities, if the scheduling process extracts WOs meeting the conditions (filter) set, the system will prioritize their scheduling; if not, the WOs will all be handled according to the same modalities.
