About This Feature
Overview
Priority Feature Settings is a chat message management feature in WPS collaboration tools. It allows enterprise administrators to configure who can receive urgent messages, how in-app urgent reminders are controlled, and how usage limits are applied. After the feature is enabled, members can mark sent chat messages as urgent and notify recipients through in-app pop-up reminders.
Core capabilities include:
- Open the Priority Feature Settings page and review the current enterprise configuration entry.
- Set members or departments that cannot receive urgent messages.
- Set the usage limit for in-app pop-up urgent reminders.
- Add whitelist rules for specific members or departments with separate limits.
- Send an urgent message in chat.
- Choose recipients and send an urgent message in a group chat.
- Check the read status of an urgent message.
This feature fits scenarios such as internal urgent notices, cross-team coordination, duty scheduling, and message delivery that needs read confirmation.

| Capability Summary | Supports admin-side controls for members or departments that cannot be marked urgent, in-app pop-up urgent limits, and whitelist rules. Members can mark sent messages as urgent and check read status. | Teams supports marking messages as Important or Urgent, and admins can control priority notifications through messaging policies. | Google Chat officially supports creating, sending, editing, deleting, and scheduling messages. Its public help pages do not describe a native urgent or priority message label. | Notion can send instant in-app notifications or emails through button automations for fast issue escalation. | Adobe public support pages focus on support access and account help, with no directly comparable team chat urgent-message workflow described. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS combines admin-side rule management with member-side urgent sending in one workflow. Distinct: it includes blocked recipients, daily limits, whitelist rules, and read-status follow-up. | Compared with WPS: Teams supports important or urgent labels, but the public guidance is more focused on message delivery options and policy control. | Compared with WPS: Google Chat is centered on standard message creation and management, and the public page does not describe a native urgent label. | Compared with WPS: Notion can trigger fast notifications, but it relies on buttons and automations rather than a native chat urgent-message action. | Compared with WPS: no directly comparable urgent team chat capability is described on the cited Adobe page. |
