2. Modernised Quick Update widgets |
|---|
With this new feature, widgets will be displayed with summery details at the top of the Quick Update page, with the total number of Risks and Risk Actions assigned for thr the logged-in user, to take action upon.
Widgets will be displayed at the top of the Quick Update page displaying the total number of responsibilities assigned for each responsibility type that your organisation has activated, categorised by Risk Type and additionally grouped by Entities for Project Risk Types.
The number displayed here will represent the total number of items the logged-in user is responsible for each responsibility type. However, if the details are filtered, then the number displayed here, will represent the filtered number of items the logged-in user is responsible for.
Notes:
If there are no responsibilities assigned from a given responsibility type to the logged-in user, the respective widget will not be displayed.
However, if the filter is used to filter details, and if there are no results based on the filter criteria, the widget count will display a 0 value.
My Risks and My Risk Actions are developed using the new technology and therefore, will have a significant performance improvement when loading content, compared to other widgets. The technology will be upgraded in other widgets as well in a future release.
Sycle enabled clients and clients who have Camms.Strategy will not see Risk, Risk Actions, Approvals, Audit Recommendations and Controls in the Quick Update within Camms.Strategy. The enhanced Quick Update within Camms. Risk can be used to update these responsibilities.

Note: This section is only applicable to Static clients.
The Next review date field property listed in the Risk review tab (which was only available for static users) has now been removed and will be handled in Role Management under the Edit Next Review Date permission.
Under Role Management, a new permission called Edit Next Review Date will be introduced under the Risk Review section which will be used specifically to permit users to edit the next review date in the risk review tab.
The Edit permission will have to be given in addition to the ‘Edit Next Review Date’ for this to function as expected.
Giving only the Edit permission will not let you edit the Next review date of a Risk.
5.4 Renaming Risk Assessment tabs
You now have the flexibility to rename the Assessment tabs. To change the name, click on the Assessment tab you wish to change and under the ‘Object Name’ field, enter the new name you wish to change it to. A suggestive list of words will be listed when you edit the name, for you to select from too.
