Risks

Information

  • Enter the probability in the Probability field (in %).
  • The probable extent of damage is calculated in the Probability field from the values in the Possible and Probable fields. If measures are subsequently added to the risk, their values are taken into account in the calculation of the probable damage as well.
  • If required, you can go ahead and fill other fields and save subsequently.
