    • Next to a tier name, click .
    • Enable SLG expedite for Tier 1 workloads.
    • Enable Hard limits for workloads in all tiers.

    Delete the tier
    • Next to the lowest tier name, click .

      Tier 1 can never be deleted. Only tiers that do not contain workloads can be deleted. Only the lowest tier can be deleted. If the lowest tier does not contain workloads, the tier is automatically deleted when you save the tab settings.

  7. [Optional] Under Timeshare, drag a workload from one access level to another to assign the priority of resource allocation for queries in the workload.
