Risk Matrix Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to define how you want risks to be scored when running a risk analysis.

After defining the probability and impact values, the template can then be saved and re-applied to other projects and snapshots.

You can use this dialog box to add custom impact types. These are added as columns in the Current and Mitigated sections of the Risk Register. They are not included in the risk analysis calculations; however, adding them here allows you to keep all risk impacts in a single location and to report on them.

When you export the risk register to Excel, the custom risk impacts are included in the export. Similarly, when you import a risk register from Excel, any custom risk impacts that are in the spreadsheet are included in the import.
