# Create new prioritization templates (old navigation)
Click to expand the guide
When none of the default prioritization templates works for you, you can always create a new one from scratch or edit existing ones.
When creating your own prioritization templates, you must define prioritization metrics and a formula for calculating the final score.
The Priorities module lets you select from different metrics to make your prioritization template unique. You just pick the one that’s best suited for your use case.
