 You enter a target plot using the **Priority**, **Housing Area**, **Ward No**, and **Plot No** fields, then add it to the target list using the **Add** button. The **Priority** value is a number (can be float) that is used to order the target list. Larger priority values indicate higher priority.  If you want to change the priority of an existing target, simply enter its housing area, ward number and plot number along with the new priority value and click **Add**. You enter a target plot using the **Priority**, **Housing Area**, **Ward No**, and **Plot No** fields, then add it to the target list using the **Add** button.
