To edit the risk discovery ratings from the Project Properties window, click the Edit icon at the right side of the Risk Discovery Ratings drop-down list on the Configurable Settings page.
To add or edit a set of risk discovery ratings from the Profiles/Library Manager, click the Add or Edit button on the RD Ratings page. The window also will be displayed when you double-click one of the rating sets displayed on these pages.
A set of risk discovery ratings determines the categories, factors, options and ratings that will be displayed for each Risk Discovery analysis within the project.
Each set of risk discovery ratings is identified by a name (required) and short description (optional). In addition, you can define any number of categories, factors and options, as described next:
Category specifies the type of issue that the rating addresses. This can be a text string up to 45 characters.
Factor specifies a short text description of the particular issue being rated. This can be a text string up to 150 characters.
Option specifies a short text description of the rating that can be applied for a particular issue (factor). This can be a text string up to 45 characters.
Rating specifies the numerical value that will be applied to the record when the option is selected. This must be a number greater than zero. To provide maximum flexibility for defining the logic used to evaluate risk, the rating values are not required to be in any particular order and they are not required to be unique. In other words, the options do not have to be listed in ascending or descending order and there can be more than one option for the same factor that applies the same numerical value.
The categories, factors and options will be displayed in the Risk Discovery analysis interface and reports in the order in which they appear in this table. The buttons apply to the column that is currently selected in the table. For example, to add a new category to the bottom of the list, click one of the cells in the Category column and click Add Category. To insert a new category above an existing one, select the category and click Insert Category. To delete a category (including all of its associated factors and options), select the category and click Delete Category. Similar functionality is available when you click one of the cells in the Factor or Options column.
The Copy Existing button allows you to select another RCM++ library and copy selected settings to replace the ones in the current window.
Clear All clears all entries from the current set of risk discovery ratings.
Spelling checks the spelling of the text fields within the window.
When you have accessed the window from the Profiles/Library Manager, the status bar at the bottom of the window displays the date/time of the last change to the set of risk discovery ratings and the user who made the change.
