This information is for superusers.
Risk Register entries support custom fields, allowing a superuser to add whatever additional details they want to their risk register entries. Once a custom field is created, it will show up on all risk register entries.
Viewing Existing Risk Register Custom Fields in Use
From the Compliance → Risk Register page, clicking an entry in the Risk Scores table brings up a side panel where you can view custom fields, if there are any. They are located at the bottom of the Details area.
All answer response groups that have their record type set to “Risk Register” will show up as custom fields on all risk register entries. You can view, edit or delete them from the Answer Response Groups table in the Settings page.
Creating a New Risk Register Custom Field
To create a new custom field, first think about what choices you want the custom field to include. Create those options as Answer Choices first, then create an Answer Response Group including the choices. The multiplier fields are irrelevant.
Follow these tutorial steps to create a new risk register custom field:
- Logged in as a superuser to Isora GRC, go to Settings→ General.
-
On the left-hand navigation panel (you’re in the old UI now), click Response Choices.
-
In the Answer Choices tab, click the + sign to create a new answer choice.
-
Fill in the fields as shown in the screenshot and click Save.
-
Follow the same process to add two additional answer choices, as shown.
-
Your new answer choices will show up at the bottom of the table.
-
Next, go to the Answer Response Groups tab and click the + sign to create a new one.
-
Fill in the Name and Description fields. Choose “Risk Register” for the Record Type.
-
From the list of existing answer choices, choose the ones you just created (they will be down at the bottom). Ignore the Favorable and Unfavorable Choice options and click Save to create the new answer response group.
-
You can see the new answer response group at the bottom of the table.
-
Go back to the Risk Register to see how the new field shows up.
-
Clicking on a risk register entry, you can now see the new custom field showing up at the bottom. Initially, the value is empty but you can choose from your selected answer choices to fill it in.
-
To remove the new custom field from risk register entries, you can go back to the Answer Response Groups area and edit the answer response group to change it to a Question record type (don’t forget to click Save).
-
Or you can delete it.
-
You can also go through one at a time and delete the answer choices that you created.
