Priorities

The Priorities module helps on choosing the best and prioritizing alternatives among a set of various proposals. The scoring is based on users' participative contribution through rating each and every alternative with a level of priority.

For upgrade from 6.x-1 to 6.x-2, please read carefully the release notes.

This module allows users to set priorities to some sets of nodes. Each survey applies to nodes with a specific taxonomy term. The Priorities module comes with a new node type, Alternative, dedicated to surveys. But you can also include in a survey nodes of any node type, provided that the specific taxonomy term related to the survey is attached to these nodes. Authorised users can set a priority to each node inside a survey. The priority is chosen between a set of six levels (by default: Very important, Important, Mid important, Not important, Don't know and Won't say). Results are computed to sort nodes, ranking first the node of utmost importance for voting users.

A typical usage of this module is to help in a decision making process. For each decision, a new survey is created, generating a new taxonomy term. Then, create a node with this taxonomy term attached for each alternative in this survey. The Priorities module will allow users to give a priority level to each alternative and will show results sorted by score.

Note that it can also be used for other purposes than prioritization, for eg. to highlight points of consensus and dissent in a domain or among a group.

Label and color of each level of priority is configurable, as well as title, node type and taxonomy term for each survey.

Since revision 6.x-2.9, the status of each survey can be set to public (authorized users can answer to the survey and see its on-going results), active (authorized users can only answer the survey), closed(authorized users can only see its results) or disabled (users cannot answer the survey, nor see its results).
