RiskManagement: Risks

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The Risks page is the central list of all registered risks. From here you can create new risks, review scoring, track status, and navigate to related mitigation actions.

When to use it

Register a risk whenever you identify a potential event or condition that could affect a project, relationship, resource, or item, even if the probability is low. Registering it early lets you score it, assign an owner, and decide whether mitigation is needed.

To create a risk

From the role center, choose Risks in the menu. Alternatively, choose the 🔎 icon, enter Risks, and then choose the related link.
Choose New.
Fill in the Risk Card:
- No. — assigned automatically.
- Description — describe the risk in plain language.
- Related Type — select the type of record this risk relates to: Project, Customer, Vendor, Resource, or Item.
- Related No. — select the specific record.
- Category — classify the risk by choosing from the available categories.
- Owner — assign the person responsible for monitoring and managing this risk.
- Likelihood — select a likelihood level from the list.
- Impact — select an impact level from the list.
Navigate away or close the card, the record saves automatically.

Risk Score and Score Zone update automatically when you set Likelihood and Impact.

Risk status

Identified — the risk is identified and active. This is the default status for new risks.
Mitigating — the risk has one or more active mitigation actions in progress.
Closed — the risk has been resolved, accepted, or is no longer relevant.

Materialized risks

Use the Materialized field to flag a risk that has occurred. Materialized risks remain active in the system, they continue to appear on the Overdue Risk Reviews page until they are closed. This ensures that risks that have materialized are still reviewed and managed until fully resolved. You can continue working on a materialized risk by adding mitigation actions, but the focus shifts from proactive prevention to reactive response, addressing the impact now that the risk has occurred.

Risk scoring

The risk score is calculated automatically:

Risk Score = Likelihood Numeric Weight × Impact Numeric Weight

The score determines which Score Zone the risk falls into. Zone assignment updates whenever you change the likelihood or impact.

See Scoring Setup for how to define likelihood levels, impact levels, and their numeric weights.

Review fields

Each risk tracks its review schedule:

Score Zone — assigned automatically based on the current risk score.
Next Review Date — the date by which the risk must next be reviewed, calculated from the zone’s review interval.
Last Review Date — the date the risk was last marked as reviewed.

See Risk Reviews for how to mark a risk as reviewed.

Notes

The Notes FactBox is available on both the Risk Card and the Risk List. Use it to capture context, decisions, or observations that don’t fit in a structured field.

Mitigation actions subform

The Risk Card includes a mitigation actions subform where you can add the actions planned or taken to address the risk. For each line, you can either select a code from the predefined list or enter a free-text description directly. Each line also has the following fields:

Due Date — the deadline for completing the action.
Owner — the person responsible for the action.
Status — tracks whether the action is open or completed.
Estimated Cost (LCY) — the estimated cost of the action.
Completion Date — the date the action was completed. It changes automatically when the status is set to Closed.

RiskManagement: Risk Reviews

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Risk reviews keep assessments current. Each risk has a review schedule driven by its score zone. When a risk passes its review date without being reviewed, it appears on the Overdue Risk Reviews page until it is assessed and marked up to date.

When to use it

Review a risk when:

The risk’s Next Review Date has passed.
The risk’s circumstances have changed, for example, the likelihood or impact has increased.
You are prompted by the My Overdue Risk Reviews cue on your role center.

To mark a risk as reviewed

Choose the 🔎 icon, enter Risks, and then choose the related link.
Open the risk you want to review.
Assess the current situation, update Likelihood, Impact, Status, or Materialized if anything has changed.
Choose Mark as Reviewed.

The system sets Last Review Date to today and calculates a new Next Review Date based on the score zone’s review interval.

Tip

If the risk’s likelihood or impact has changed, update those fields before choosing Mark as Reviewed. The score zone may change, which will affect the next review interval.

Review schedule

The review interval for each risk is controlled by the Review Interval (Days) field on the risk’s Score Zone. A higher-risk zone typically has a shorter interval, for example, 30 days for Critical versus 180 days for Low.

See Risk Score Zones to adjust review intervals per zone.

RiskManagement: Overdue Risk Reviews

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The Overdue Risk Reviews page shows all risks that are past their Next Review Date and have not yet been reviewed. This includes materialized risks, unless they are closed.

When to use it

Open Overdue Risk Reviews when:

Your role center shows a count in the My Overdue Risk Reviews cue.
You own a risk whose Next Review Date has passed and need to check its current status.

To work through overdue risks

Choose the 🔎 icon, enter Overdue Risk Reviews, and then choose the related link.

Or, choose the My Overdue Risk Reviews cue on your role center.
For each risk, open the risk card and assess the current situation.
Update Likelihood, Impact, Status, or Materialized if anything has changed.
Choose Mark as Reviewed.

After marking as reviewed, Next Review Date is recalculated and the risk is removed from the overdue list.

My Overdue Risk Reviews cue

The My Overdue Risk Reviews cue on your role center shows overdue risks where you are the Owner. Drilling down opens the Overdue Risk Reviews page filtered to your risks only.

Note

The cue only counts risks owned by the current user. To see all overdue risks regardless of owner, open Overdue Risk Reviews directly and remove the owner filter.

Materialized risks

A risk marked as Materialized has already occurred. Materialized risks continue to appear on the overdue list unless they are closed, ensuring that active incidents are still monitored until the risk is fully resolved.

RiskManagement: Mitigation Actions

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Mitigation actions are a predefined list of actions you can use when adding action lines to a risk. Mitigation action lines are the actual records connected to a risk — they track what is being done, by whom, and by when.

When to use it

Use mitigation actions to track the steps being taken to bring a risk under control. As actions are completed, you can see the risk becoming less serious over time, whether that means a lower likelihood, a reduced impact, or both. Each action represents progress toward a point where the risk is no longer a concern.

To set up mitigation actions

Mitigation actions serve as a reusable catalog. Each has only two fields:

Choose the 🔎 icon, enter Mitigation Actions, and then choose the related link.
Choose New.
Fill in the fields:
- Code — a short identifier for the action (for example, BACKUPVENDOR, CHECKAVL).
- Description — a plain-language description of the action.

To add mitigation action lines to a risk

Action lines are added directly on the Risk Card in the mitigation actions subform, or from the Mitigation Actions page on the Risk List.

For each line, fill in the following fields:

Code — optionally select from the predefined list. The action description will populate automatically.
Description — describe the specific action. You can type this directly without selecting a code.
Due Date — the deadline for completing the action.
Owner — the person responsible for the action.
Status — set to Open, In Progress, or Closed.
Estimated Cost (LCY) — the estimated cost of the action.

Completion Date is set automatically when the line Status is changed to Closed. This field is read-only.

Tip

Use the Description field on each line to explain what “done” looks like and why the task is needed, not just the task name. The 2048-character limit gives you enough space for meaningful context.

Action line status

Open — the task has been created but work has not started.
In Progress — work on the task is underway.
Closed — the task is complete. Completion Date is set automatically.

To open mitigation actions from the Risk List

On the Risk List, select a risk and choose Mitigation Actions. The page opens showing only mitigation actions for the selected risk.

RiskManagement: Risk Matrix

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The Risk Matrix gives you a visual overview of all active risks plotted by likelihood and impact. Risks are color-coded by score zone, making it easy to spot clusters in high-risk areas and track whether your portfolio is improving over time.

Open the Risk Matrix

Choose the 🔎 icon, enter Risk Matrix, and then choose the related link.

You can also choose Risk Matrix from the Risk Management navigation in your role center.

Filter the matrix

Use the Filters section at the top of the page to narrow which risks appear in the matrix:

Related Type — filter risks linked to a specific entity type
Related No. — filter risks linked to a specific record
Category Code — show only risks in a given category
Status Filter — defaults to Not Closed; change to view closed or all risks
Owner — filter by the person responsible for the risks
Score Zone — filter to show only risks in a specific score zone (e.g. high, medium, low)

The matrix updates immediately when you change a filter value.

Reading the matrix

The matrix is a grid with likelihood levels along the vertical axis and impact levels along the horizontal axis. The levels shown depend on what has been configured in your setup.

Each cell displays the number of risks in that likelihood and impact combination, and the score assigned to that position. Colors correspond to the score zones defined in setup:

Green — Low zone
Yellow — Medium zone
Red — High zone

Zone colors and score thresholds are configurable in Risk Score Zones.

View risks from a cell

The Risks list at the bottom of the page shows the individual risks for the cell you select in the matrix. From here you can:

Choose View to open a risk in read-only mode
Choose Edit to open the risk card and make changes
Choose New to create a new risk directly from the matrix

Tip

Use Open Risks in the action bar to open the full risk register list filtered to your current matrix filters.

RiskManagement: Related Records

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

You can open risks and create new risks directly from the records they relate to, without navigating to the risk register first. This makes it faster to register risks in context and to check existing risks while you are working on a project, customer account, or other record.

Supported pages

Risk navigation actions are available on the following pages:

Page	Related Type set on the risk
Project Card / Project List	Project
Customer Card / Customer List	Customer
Vendor Card / Vendor List	Vendor
Resource Card / Resource List	Resource
Item Card / Item List	Item

On list pages, the actions apply to the currently selected record.

Available actions

Risks

Opens the Risks page filtered to show only risks related to the selected record.

Open the relevant page, for example, a Customer Card or Project List.
Select the record.
Choose Risks from the actions.

The Risks page opens filtered to the selected record.

New Risk

Opens a new Risk Card with Related Type and Related No. pre-filled based on the selected record.

Open the relevant page.
Select the record.
Choose New Risk from the actions. A new Risk Card opens with Related Type and Related No. pre-filled.
Fill in Description, Owner, Likelihood, and Impact.
Navigate away or close the card, the risk saves automatically.

Tip

Creating risks from related records is faster than opening the risk register and manually filling in the relation fields. Use it when you identify a risk while reviewing a project or customer.

Progressus pages

The same Risks and New Risk actions are also available on the Progressus Project Card and Project List pages. They work identically, the risk is created with Related Type set to Project and Related No. set to the selected Progressus project number.
