Risk Matrix

Visualize your risk portfolio on the interactive risk matrix.

  2 minute read  

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
