Figure 1.2

When this check box is ticked, the user can directly link risks either at the Business Unit level or Service Profile level.

Allow the Risk approver to edit Risk details

Enabling this will allow the risk approvers to edit details of the risks they have been sent for approval before approving or rejecting the risk from within the risk details page or the My Quick Update sections. If this is not enabled a risk’s approver will only be able to approve or reject the risk and will not be able to edit any details.

Note: This will apply to approvals of all risk types and cannot be handled risk-type-wise.

Allow to consider SRO for “View all linked to my risks” permission

Enabling this will allow the SROs to view all the risk controls that are linked to their risks, from control register while having the “View all linked to my risks” permission.

Allow to edit Control Fields via Control Record Grids (Risk and Compliance) despite being Common

Despite fields being configured as common, can update them via risk and Compliance.

Allow users to see the latest comment in recommendation register

Allow users to see the latest comment in the status report and status summary report fields in audit recommendation register.

Allow user to select multiple treatments

When this check box is ticked, the risk creators staff linkages with the organisation hierarchy will be populated as the hierarchy linkages for the risks they create by default. These linkages can later be removed if necessary as well.

Client Timezone Offset Value

[Riskonnect recommends not to use this setting as this is obsolete now].

Collapse filters by default on risk static heatmap area. 

image-20250729-111322.png

When this check box is ticked, the filters in the Assessment heatmap page in Risk Analysis area will be collapsed by default when users access the area.

Default Risk Review Frequency

Figure 1.5

This setting allows you to set the default selection of the Review Frequency displayed in the Risk Review screen.

Note: This is applicable only when the 'Update Frequency based on the Risk Rating' setting is NOT enabled within the 'Review Frequency' field under Risk Settings > Field Configurations > [Risk Type] > Risk Review > Review Frequency.

Displays the Risk Code in My Risk My Quick Update for all risks.

Figure 1.6

When this check box is ticked, the My Quick update area's My Risks section will show the risk code along with the risk title as well.

Note: This setting is applicable only for Operational and Corporate Risk types. For Strategic and Project Risk types, this is configured via Menu > Risk Settings > Field Configuration > [enable Visible checkbox under Quick Update]..

Document Management

(Riskonnect recommends not to use this setting as this is obsolete now).

image-20250729-111515.png
Figure 1.7

These configurations are the same as 'Document Management' section under Risk > Administration > Configuration explained above.

Enable filtering of consequence descriptors based on hierarchy linkages

This will allow to link risk categories based on hierarchy linkages and thereby provide descriptors against those categories in the consequence table for the four risk types. This would be possible only within the risk detail pages and Risk My Quick Update. Note it is not available in Project Quick Update and Sycle Quick Update. If already activated, unticking this setting would result in loosing the hierarchy linkages and thereby the consequence popup showing all duplicated categories and having to re-calculate the risk rating.

Enable creation of multiple Hierarchy links fields in the inherent tab

Enabling this setting will allow users to create multiple hierarchy fields for different hierarchies in the inherent tab. Users can select the nodes of the configured hierarchies in the Details tab using the new fields added.

Enable next review date field within risk area only to the administrators and risk managers



Figure 1.8

If selected, users with only administrator or/and risk manager permissions can edit the next review date field. If not selected, next review date field is editable for all users who can edit the risk (including administrator and risk manager permissions).

Enable Project Specific Permission

When this setting is ticked, two permissions named 'Risk Editor' and 'Risk Viewer' will be available in the Project creation area in Risk to provide a restricted view for Project risks.

Figure 1.9

Enable Risk SignOff process (Risk Approvals)

Figure 1.10

When this check box is ticked, an approval process for risks creation where every new risk created will need to have been sent through an approval process before shown in registers will be enabled.

Enable Risk Wise Confidentiality

Figure 1.11

When this check box is ticked, in addition to the 'Risk Confidential' setting, a risk wise confidential permission can be set up. This would mean that, further for a risk marked as confidential, out of all users with the 'Confidential' permission given, further permissions can be given whereby defining who sees what. This will enable a staff dropdown listing all staff in the organisation with permission to view confidential records and for the specific risk, specific set of users can be selected. Once saved, only the selected staff will be able to view the risk's details. For all other users, in registers, all details of such risks will be shown with a <confidential> tag and no details will be visible.

Notes: 

  • For static hierarchy users – In addition to the subset of users with the 'Confidential' permission selected to view the risk, users with Risk Manager, Administrator and any direct responsibilities assigned for the risk (risk responsible officer, secondary responsible officer, risk action owner, risk control owner) will automatically get permission to view the risks.

  • For flex hierarchy users – Any user selected with the 'Confidential' permission will be able to view the risks.

Enable Save Report Filter Criteria

Figure 1.12

If enabled and application will have an option to save filter criteria for reports.

Enable Secondary and Sub Risk Category

Enabling this provides the ability to select multiple Secondary risk categories and its sub risk categories.

Enable the Risk Review Approval process

Enabling this setting will activate the Risk Review Approvals tab in the Risk Settings > Approvals area. The user will be able to configure the risk review approval process per risk type from the Risk Review Approvals configuration area allowing the risk review approver to approve/reject the risk reviews they have been assigned as the risk review approver either from within Risk Review tab or My Quick Update sections. If this is not enabled the risk review approval process will not be activated. By default, the editability of the risk details tabs by the risk review approver during the review approval process will remain disabled, however, the tabs can be made editable via the Risk Settings > Approvals > Risk Review Approvals area.

External Login URL

Figure 1.13

When you have SSO enabled and the login page you want to configure is not the standard Risk product login page, the URL for your page can be set up from here. When this is done, users will be able to access the product via SSO and when they log out, they will be directed to the same URL as above.

Making Criteria Non-compulsory

Figure 1.15

Once this setting is ticked ON, the criteria that is not configured for the calculation (in the visible assessment) will display as non-compulsory in assessment rating grid.

Manage Risk Action Commonly

Figure 1.16

When this setting is enabled, risk actions will be commonly managed and can be linked to multiple risks. All updates to actions will be common and flow across to all risks with which the same action is linked to.

Pick Emails To be sent for same day

When this is enabled, the “Risk Modified” email trigger rule sends emails on the same day that any changes are made to a risk. When disabled, the emails are sent the following day.

Responsible officer should determine the business unit

Figure 1.17

When this check box is ticked, the risk action/solution's business unit will be the same business unit the action responsible officer staff is linked to. This will be auto populated as the same but can be changed and updated if necessary.

Restrict the Actions dates for editing 

With this setting, you will be given an option to lock either the action start date/end date or both for all users except for Risk manager and Administrator users.

Select Mandatory Hierarchies for Risk Creation

Figure 1.21

This setting allows you to define one/more hierarchies to have a mandatory selection made when a new risk is created. Once hierarchies are selected from here, when the users create risks, if at least one linkage with the selected hierarchy is not made, the risk won't be allowed to be created/saved.
