Risk Discovery Questions

For risk discovery analysis (e.g., preliminary risk analysis, change point analysis, equipment selection, etc.), you can choose to use either questions or ratings.

The risk discovery questions method uses a series of yes/no questions.

The RD Questions page in the Profiles/Library Manager shows all of the predefined sets of risk discovery questions in the active library.

• To add a new set of questions, click Add.
• To edit an existing set of questions, select the row and click Edit or double-click the row.

If you want to view/modify the risk discovery questions for a particular project:

• Choose Project > Management > Configurable Settings > RD Questions.
• Click the Edit icon on the Configurable Settings tab of the Project Properties window.

 

Remember that changing the settings in an individual project does not automatically update the library or any other projects (see Using Configurable Settings in Projects). Also note that these options will be disabled if you have selected to use ratings rather than questions for the current project.

Editing a Set of Risk Discovery Questions

• Label - a short text string (up to 50 characters) that summarizes the issue.
• Question - a longer text string (up to 255 characters) that contains a question that can be answered with Yes or No.

To edit any existing entry, simply type directly in the table cell.

To add or delete a question, click inside an appropriate cell and then use the buttons under the table.

To import a set of questions that have already been defined in another project or library, click Copy Existing.
