Learn how to complete a Manage risk task in Logiqc.
A Manage risk task may be created when a new risk is submitted, when an existing risk is due for review, or when a delegated review task has been completed. The task brings together the risk's context, history, and current rating so you can decide what should happen next.
You may receive a Manage risk task when:
- a new risk has been added and sent to you to manage;
- an existing risk is due for review;
- related adverse events have exceeded the threshold set for the risk; or
- a task you delegated has been completed.
Use the task to decide whether more work is needed, whether the review date should change, or whether the risk is ready for approval.
Q: What permission do I need?
A: You need Manage Governance register items. The minimum licence type required is Approval.
Q: Can I assign the review to myself?
A: Yes. Use Assign to me when the task should stay with you.
Q: What if the risk does not need review now?
A: Choose the option to re-schedule the review and add your reasons.
Before you start
Check the following:
- You have the Manage Governance register items permission (minimum licence type required: Approval).
- You have reviewed any instructions or comments in Action history.
- You understand whether the risk is new, due for review, threshold-triggered, or returning from a delegated task.
Step 1: Open the Manage risk task
Open the task from your task list or from the notification email.
Navigation path
Select the Description link for your risk. Task type shows as Manage risk.
If you open the risk from the Risk register, select the Manage stage link for the item.
The Task type identifies Manage risk, and the Description link opens the assigned item.
Step 2: Review the risk context
Review Action history for instructions, progress notes, and comments already recorded.
Review Risk summary to check the current risk details, accountability, review timing, and whether related adverse events have exceeded the threshold for the risk.
Check Risk summary and Action history before choosing a task option.
Step 3: Go to the risk
In Task management, select Go to risk to open the full risk record and review that its details are correct. Return to Task management once you're done to choose your task option.
Use Go to risk to open the full risk record before choosing the next task option.
Step 4: Choose the task option
In Task management, choose the option that matches what needs to happen next.
New risk or returned delegated review: select Delegate review if more checking is needed, or Escalate for approval when the risk is ready for the Risk owner.
Risk brought back for review: select Delegate review, Re-schedule review, or Review and escalate for approval, depending on whether the review needs delegating, postponing, or completing now.
If you are the Risk owner: an escalation option may appear as Approve, allowing you to approve the risk directly.
Choose the option that matches what needs to happen next.
Step 5: Complete the fields and submit
Complete the required fields for the option you selected. This may include Task instructions, Assign to, Task due date, Reasons for rescheduling the review, Next review date, or Comment.
If the task should create follow-up work in another register, select Create a related item and choose the destination register. After submission, Logiqc creates the related item and links it in System event history.
Select Submit to save the task and progress the risk.
Complete the fields for the selected option, then select Submit.
What happens next
Further work is assigned
If you assign a task, the selected user receives the review task and the risk waits for that work to be completed.
The review date is updated
If you re-schedule the review, the risk stays active with the new review timing recorded.
The risk moves toward approval
If you escalate the risk, the Risk owner receives the approval task.
