Tasks with more priority options?

[Jack Black]

Using O2k3...

I've looked around a bit, and was wondering if there was any way to tweak
the prioritization setting to allow for more variability than just Low,
Normal, and High? I have a few users that would love to be able to set
priority levels of their own (a,b,c,d) and intermediate importance levels
(1,2,3,4), or something like that. Existing app can do it without a problem
(Groupwise) but LUCKILY we're dumping Groupwise in favor of Exchange/Outlook
2k3 very shortly.

Is there a plug-in that does this, or is my best bet to just build a
replacement Tasks plug-in to do this?

Thanks,
Jack

Outlook does not have this ability - you would need to create something on
your own.

And show them how to use an unsorted view and drag tasks up and down to create a very finely tuned priority list.
