In the text box, enter the weight you want to assign to the selected SRs. 5. Click **Save**. ![SRWeightfilesMoreActions.jpg](https://cdn.document360.io/52d3cb6c-cc81-43c2-b6f7-cbabcb449271/Images/Documentation/SRWeightfilesMoreActions.jpg) #### Highlight your weighted SRs When the feature is enabled, weighted SRs with the following criteria are highlighted with a red background in their lists: * The SR is active. * The SR is assigned to you, a group you belong to, or you are designated as the Responisble Admin for the SR. By default, all of your weighted SRs are floated to the top of your SR list regardless of any filters that may be applied to the list. Also, a button appears at the top of the list. The button toggles between the Active and Inactive positions, indicating whether the weighted SRs are sorted separately or not.

To enable the Weighted SRs feature 1. Navigate to Settings > **Service Desk** > **General**. 2. Check the **Enable visual indicators for weighted SRs** box. If you enabled this functionality, you can also select for the SR list to load with the last state of the float button. For example, if the last time you were in the list, the float button was in the inactive state, the next time the list loads, it will remain in the inactive state with the weighted SRs sorted as a normal SR.
