# How to prioritize a large operation

> Stop a huge job from blocking your day: lower the priority of a large operation so urgent outreach in the same queue keeps running.

To stop a large operation from blocking others, open **Op. Queue** and lower its priority. It then runs only when there's nothing else waiting in its queue.

## What this gets you

* A very large operation, such as updating thousands of contacts, can take the whole day. Lowering its priority stops it from blocking everything else in its queue.
* Urgent work keeps moving.

## Before you start

* Jobin keeps a separate operation queue for each connected social account and each email sender. An operation only waits behind others in its own queue.

## Steps

1. Open **Op. Queue**.
2. Find the large operation, for example a bulk profile update of thousands of contacts.
3. Open its priority and choose a lower level. The levels run from **Highest** down to **Lowest**: Highest, Very High, High, Medium, Low, Very Low, Lowest.
4. Raise the priority of any urgent operation so it doesn't wait behind routine ones.

## Tips

* A bulk profile update starts at **Medium**. Updating 10,000 contacts can take the whole day, so lowering its priority keeps your normal outreach moving.

## Ideas to get more from it

* Lower any bulk update or large import to **Low** or **Lowest** as soon as it appears in the queue.
* Raise the priority of a time-sensitive operation so it runs first.
