This form has the following fields:

Parent asset:	This read-only field shows which organisation, programme, project, sub-project or change request you are adding this new risk to.
Reference*:	Use this field to enter a reference for your risk. If you enter a prefix and end it with one or more zeros, e.g. RISK_00, then you can click on the “Find next reference” button to search for the next available reference number with the same prefix and number of digits.
Category:	Use the provided drop-down list to select a category for this new risk.
(New category):	This field will only be available if you have selected the “Add a new category” in the Category field above. Here you can add a new category for this new risk to belong to.
Title:	Enter a short title for this new risk here.
Description:	Enter a longer description for this new risk here.
Implications:	Enter any implications if this new risk should become a reality.
Likelihood:	Use this drop-down list to select an estimated probability that this risk will occur.
Consequence:	Use this drop-down list to select an estimated impact on the project it will have should this risk occur. The probability is multiplied with the impact to calculate the overall risk factor associated with this risk.
Proximity:	Select the date that indicates how far away this risk is from occurring. You may manually enter the date using one of the date formats, or you can choose the date using calendar control.
Strategy:	Use this drop-down list to select the management strategy for this risk.
Controls:	Enter any existing controls in place for this risk.
Treatment plan(s):	Enter any details of plans to mitigate this risk. You can also add an action list to this risk once you’ve added it to actively manage the mitigation efforts.
Post mitigation likelihood:	Use this drop-down list to select an estimated probability that this risk will occur even after the treatment plan(s) has been executed.
Post mitigation consequence:	Use this drop-down list to select an estimated impact that this risk will have even after the treatment plan(s) has been executed.
Owner:	Use this drop-down list to select the user who has the overall responsibility for resolving or managing this risk from the list of users provided.
Workflow:	Use this drop-down list to select the applicable workflow for this risk. This field will only be visible if you have access to any Risk workflows.
Add more risks:	Leave this check box selected if you’d like to keep the form open and add more risks to this parent asset after this current risk has been created.

^*The reference is mandatory, but all others are optional. NOTE: If you accidentally try to add a risk with the same reference as an existing risk in your project then you will get a warning message. Once you are happy with your entries click the “Add risk” button at the bottom of the form. This will add this new risk with the details that have been supplied. The new risk can be viewed in a number of locations, including the Risks tabs at the parent asset’s view page, as shown in Figure 4. Alternatively you can view the new risk from the parent asset’s dashboard in the Open Risks dashlet, as shown in Figure 5. The addition of this new tab will also be incorporated into the #Risks dashlet at this same parent asset’s dashboard, as shown in Figure 6.
