Custom severities provide a tailored approach to help you define and address what matters most. Create up to two additional severity levels to assign to custom rules or findings from the self-performed evaluations. Learn more about custom severities. If you want to change the name of the default severities, you'll need to edit a severity.

To add a severity:

1. Navigate to the organizational level.
2. Under Manage, select Organization settings, and then select Severities. A new page is displayed. 

Note: Here, you can confidently customize the severity levels that drive your organization’s accessibility program. Tailor the definitions for the three system severities—Critical, High, and Low—and add up to two additional custom severity levels to ensure your program reflects your unique needs.

3. Choose Add new severity. 
4. Enter a title and description for your custom severity.
5. Select Add severity. The new severity will be listed in between high severity and low severity.

To change the rank between two custom severities:

• Select Rank up or Rank down.
