Priority Rank

Note: The Priority Rank numbers must be continuous. If a ranked skill that falls in a range of skills is deleted, the system automatically re-numbers the later skill. For example, if skill A = priority 1, skill B = priority 2, skill C = priority 3, if the Priority Rank for skill B is removed (null) then skill C automatically updates to Priority Rank 2.

Note: Switch MAXSKILLRANK Config Number field determines the maximum number of skills that can be ranked in the Skill Master window.
