Risk
Risks Dashboard
To access your Risks Dashboard, click on Risk in the top bar.
On the Risks Dashboard, you will see your risk matrix with the number of risk assessments completed at each level in the brackets.
Click on one of the risk levels will take you to the bottom of the page where the Risks section is and filter for the selected risk level.
Clicking on the name will open the risk where you can edit, see actions associated with the risk (such as Risk Assessments), and see and add controls.
Adding a Risk
To add a risk, scroll down to Important Risks on the Risks Dashboard. To the right of the heading, click on Create New Risk and select the type of risk from the drop-down menu.
If you would like to complete a Risk Assessment for this new risk now, near the bottom, tick the box that says "Yes, I want to use a template" and select the Risk Assessment template you'd like to use.
The Risk Assessment (full) template is in your system by default, but you can create your own Risk Assessment templates in Template Management.
The date you choose as the Template Action Date will determine the due date of the Risk Assessment, calculated from the default task window for Risk Assessments in your system. This will create a task that recurs annually. You can edit the action later to change the recurrence of the task and customise it more.
Click Submit to save.
