Risk Settings – Risk Rating Type

This settings page lets you define the list of rating values for risks and risk appetite areas, along with the image, colour (to be used in graphs and charts), and sequence. Additionally, a review frequency may be added to determine the automatic population of review frequency based on rating values. 

Note: The review frequency is applicable only when the 'Update Frequency based on the Risk Rating' setting is enabled within the 'Review Frequency' field under Risk Settings > Field Configurations > [Risk Type] > Risk Review > Review Frequency.
