Creating new risk categories.

Every risk is assigned a “Risk Category” when it is created.  Risk categories are used as filters that make groupings of risks more easy to locate.  If you are a user with the appropriate permissions you can create new risk categories:

1. Go to the “Manage Risks” section:

   

2. Click the edit button on the “Categories” dropdown to be taken to a list of risk categories:

   

3. Click the “ADD A NEW RISK CATEGORY” button:

   

4. Enter the name of the category you would like to create in the space provided and click the “SAVE” button to create the new category:

   

This category can now be assigned to new or existing risks.
