Use a mix of flow priorities to distinguish between flows to defer and flows to run first.\n\n## Before you begin\n\n-   Role required: flow\\_designer or admin\n-   [Show flow priority field](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/build-workflows/workflow-studio/show-flow-priority-field.md)\n\n## Procedure\n\n1.  Navigate to **All** > **Process Automation** > **Workflow Studio**.\n\n2.  Select the **Flow** data pill filter.\n\n3.  Open the flow whose priority you want to set.\n\n4.  Select **Edit flow**.\n\n5.  From the More Actions menu, select **Properties**.\n\n6.  From the Flow properties window, expand **Advanced Options**.\n\n7.  From **Flow Priority Default**, select the priority value you want for the flow.\n\n    You can set background flows to have one of these priority values.\n\n    -   High\n    -   Medium\n    -   Low\n    By default, background flows run with medium priority.\n\n    **Note:** Flows that run in the foreground run with an elevated priority above background flows.\n\n8.  Select **Update**.\n\n\n## Result\n\nThe flow runs at the priority you specify as long as it does not pause or get delegated to another node to run.\n\n## What to do next\n\nUse the FDIH dashboard to review the flow executions and verify that your flows are running as expected.\n\n**Parent Topic:**[Flow priority](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/build-workflows/workflow-studio/flow-priority.md)\n\n"}}
