Camms is pleased to bring you the Quarterly Product Release Notification for Camms.Risk.

This quarter we've got a number of exciting new features and enhancements to improve your user experience within the system, which will be available in your Test environment on 19th June 2021 and will be available in your Live instance on 3rd July 2021.

Our newest version of Camms.Risk v4.0, will feature a completely revamped and modernised user interface designed with simplicity and clarity in mind. Camms.Risk v4.0 delivers a new user experience and refines many aspects of a user’s day-to-day interaction with the solution. It provides clarity on what your users should be doing, where they can go next and makes it easier to locate items within the user interface.

• Change in navigation icons, designed to provide more clarity on its function and making them more distinct from each other, making it easier to identify the different registers

• Background colour of left-hand navigation panel

• Directly access a specific risk register through a new panel (replacing the menu that appeared previously)

1.4 Page tab improvements

Page tabs will now be frozen when scrolling down, making it easy for you to know where you are, and to navigate to other tabs.

• Background colour of tabs to a clearer white

• Prominent blue underline below tabs clearly indicating which tab you are on

• Tabs stay frozen on top while scrolling down the page

Placement of fields and field labels have been adjusted to reduce gaps and optimise layout to provide an improved visual flow on each page.

Common function icon buttons at the top of a page are now converted into buttons with text and an icon, providing users with instant clarity on the purpose of each button.

What has changed?

• Icons made small and converted into buttons with a combination of text and an icon

1.7 Brief description on each settings page

A short description has been provided at the top of each Risk Setting page to give an idea of what each setting page does.

1.8 Risk code and risk title in header section

The Risk Code and Risk Title will be displayed at the top of a risk record, in all assessment tabs for all risk types, making it easy to be identified while navigating through a risk.

1.9 Enhanced experience when adding existing causes and consequences

Use the text box in the causes or consequences when adding a both existing and new causes or consequences in a risk record. As you type in, if the cause or consequence already exists, it will now be listed as suggestions to be selected from. If you want to add a new cause or consequence, simply type it in and click on Add (without selecting from the suggestions).

1.10 Removal of the spell checker functionality in creation pages

The spell checker functionality in the risk type creation pages has now been removed.

With this feature, you will now have the option to categorise the performance of 'Completed' risk treatment actions as 'On Track' in green colour or 'N/A' in grey colour. By default the performance tag will display an 'On Track' green tag. 

How do you configure this?

• To change this, please contact Camms Support at support@cammsgroup.com.

How will this work?

• This feature will apply to all three Assessment pages for all risk types: Strategic, Operational, Project, and Corporate under the Risk Actions grid.

• All action statuses with a 'Completed' state will now display based on the configuration in either a 'N/A' grey colour tag or a 'On Track' green colour tag.

The Review Frequency settings will now provide an option for an administrator to consider the actual date of the review or the last review due date, when the Next Review Date has arrived.

Previously, the 'Next Review Date' is populated based on the 'Actual Review Completion Date' [i.e. Current Date + Frequency] you complete a review for a given cycle, upon clicking the ‘Complete’ button. This feature will give you the additional option to calculate the 'Next Review Date' based on the 'Review Due Date' (instead of Current Date) via a setting [i.e. Reviewed Due Date + Frequency].

How do you configure this?

• The setting option next to ‘Next Review Date based on’ will have an option called 'Review Due Date' selected by default, at the top of the Review Frequency page (accessed via Camms.Risk > Menu > Framework > Risk Settings > Review Frequency). 

• The previous option of calculating the 'Next Review Date' based on the 'Actual Completion Review Date' will be available to be selected too. If you wish to use the old calculation, an administrator will have to select this option manually.

How will this work?

• If the default option ‘Review Due Date’ is left as enabled, the Next Review Date will populate as ‘Reviewed Due date (previous cycle’s Next Review Date) + Frequency’, upon completing a review cycle.

• If the option is changed to ‘Actual Review Completion Date’, the Next Review Date will populate as ‘Current Date + Frequency’, upon completing a review cycle, as how it behaved prior to this release.

Example: The Next Review Date (NRD) already populated is 20-May-2021 and Review Frequency is Monthly. You do the review on 05-Jul-21 and press Complete.

• Review Due Date option: The new NRD will populate as 20-May-21 + 1 month = 20-Jun-21.

• Actual Review Completion Date option: The new NRD will populate as 05-Jul-21 + 1 month = 05-Aug-21.

A heatmap will be displayed along with the Risk Rating in each of the assessment tabs.

How do you configure this?

• The new heatmap will appear automatically as part of this new version where the inherent, residual or future risk assessment are available.

How will this work?

• The heatmap will be displayed alongside the Risk Assessment, as Likelihood and Consequence as the axis.

• The bubbles in the heatmap will denote the positioning of the Assessment Ratings of the risk.

A new filter will be introduced for you to filter Risk Controls based on its Active/Inactive status via the Control Register. Additionally, you will be able to configure the Control Status as a column in the Register where the status can viewed against each risk control.

How do you configure this?

• Administrator users will be able to enable the filter visibility and the column visibility (accessed via Camms.Risk > Menu > Risk Settings > Register Configuration > Risk Controls > Control Status).

How will this work?

• A multi-select filter called 'Control Filter' (accessed via Camms.Risk > Menu > Risk Management > Risk Control Register) will be available in the Control Register Filter area to filter risk controls by its status.

• A Control Status column (accessed via Camms.Risk > Menu > Risk Management > Risk Control Register) will be available in the Control Register, displaying a risk control's active/inactive status.

The Bow-Tie report is now enhanced to display the Risk Review and Action Commentary fields and Risk Treatments with the ability to control these new sections via checkbox parameters within the filter page, as well to showcase the '% Completed' of a risk action. Along with this enhancement, we have further improved the layout to provide a clearer visualisation of the content.

• Click the 'Show Risk Solution Comments' checkbox for comments related to risk actions to be shown within the report.

• Click on the ‘Show Risk Treatments’ checkbox to permit the selected risk treatments to be displayed within the report.

• All comments and the selected treatments will be displayed beneath the ‘Risk’ section of the report.

• Comments related to Risk Actions will be displayed under each respective Action.

The newly introduced checkbox titled ‘Show Out of Appetite Risks Only’ will allow you to extract the risks which are in out of appetite state into the report.

• Click on ‘Show Out of Appetite Risks Only’ to permit all the risks in the ‘Out of Appetite’ state to be displayed within the report. 

• All the sections including the Heatmap grid, Risk Summary, and Risk Overview sections within the report will showcase the out of appetite risks.

The new checkbox 'Hide Risk Rating Score' will permit you to show/hide risk rating scores of the below fields within the report. For the default scenario, the scores are visible within the report and upon ticking, the scores will be hidden within the columns.

• Click on the 'Hide Risk Rating Score' checkbox to hide the rating scores of the below sections:

  • Inherent Consequence
