5.2 Visit Priority [Visit_Priority]

This field is required for visits in Pure Parallel and SNAP programs. This field does not apply to primary exposures or programs.

Pure Parallel Visits

The priority should be a positive integer between 1 and 999. This number gives the scheduling priority for a particular parallel visit; higher numbers have higher priority. If a primary pointing matches the target of two or more visits in a parallel proposal, the system will schedule the highest-priority parallel visit that will fit into the opportunity. Therefore, to allow maximum use of long opportunities, visits designed for longer opportunities should have higher priority.

No two parallel visits in a proposal should have the same priority.

SNAP Visits

For SNAP visits the priority must be "H", "M" or "L" corresponding to High, Medium and Low. The default is "M" and the number of H values may not exceed the number of L values.
