You can prioritize a patient's treatment plan cases to help you know what treatment to perform next and which procedures are considered optional. To do this, you assign a severity to each case.
Note: Assigning severities to treatment plan cases requires the "Treatment Plan, Edit" security right.
To set the severity of a case
In Treatment Planner, in the Treatment Plan Case Setup section on the Navigation panel, select a treatment plan case.
Click
the Set Case Severity button 
to view a menu.
Note: This button is available only if a case is selected.
Select a severity for the selected case:
Immediate - This case should be done immediately.
Eventual - This case should be done eventually (future).
Optional - This case is optional.
NONE - No severity.
If applicable, do one of the following:
If the Password - Treatment Plan, Edit dialog box appears, user verification has been assigned to the "Treatment Plan, Edit" task. Do one of the following:
If your user account has been granted the "Treatment Plan, Edit" security right, enter your credentials in the User ID and Password boxes, and then click OK.
If your user account has not been granted the "Treatment Plan, Edit" security right, have a user with permission temporarily override this restriction so you can assign a severity to a treatment plan case this one time. The overriding user enters his or her credentials in the User ID and Password boxes and then clicks OK.
If a message appears, informing you that you do not have rights to this operation, your user account has not been granted the "Treatment Plan, Edit" security right. To have a user with permission temporarily override this restriction so you can assign a severity to a treatment plan case this one time, do the following:
On the message, click Yes.
In the Password - Treatment Plan, Edit dialog box, the overriding user enters his or her credentials in the User ID and Password boxes and then clicks OK.
