Risk settings

This article explains how to edit your risk language and descriptions making it easier for users to asses and manage risks.

The Risk register has several features to help the user assess and manage risk. The Risk settings page enables you to control the text displayed when the user accesses these features:

Risk level language – You can set the language for each of the risk levels displayed in the system example ‘Low’ could be replaced with ‘Minor’.

Risk level text – You can set the text that appears on the Risk level panel when a user selects a risk rating on the assessment matrix. This text is typically a brief policy statement about how the organisation responds to differing levels of risk.

Risk criterion text– You can set the ‘help’ text that appears on the Risk criteria description panel when a user selects a risk rating on the assessment matrix. This text is typically a brief policy statement about how the organisation classifies differing levels of risk.
