Risk Types

Risk Types determine the colour-coding of your Project Risks. As used in the Risk Matrix, they use the Risk's Likelihood and Consequences to determine the coding of the Risk. The list shown on this screen is provided by default, it is created the first time you use this screen or raise a Risk.

There is no limit to the number of Risk Types you may create but note that this list is based on observed standards and if you create too many, many of the input screens and reports will become awkward to use.

Fields Shown:-

! You cannot delete a Risk Type once it has been used on the Risk Matrix. However, if you find you will no longer be using a Risk Type you can give it a very high Sort Order and add 'do not use' to its description.
