What Are Business Areas?
Business Areas act as tags that can be attached to Risks.
A single Risk can have multiple Business Areas.
A single Business Area can be linked to many Risks (many-to-many).
Attaching or Removing Business Areas
Standard and Admin Users can click the dropdown in the Risk Details screen to:
Select one or more Business Areas
Remove one by clicking the small gray "x" on the tag
Managing Business Areas (Admins Only)
Only Admin Users can see the blue “edit business areas” link.
This allows Admins to:
Add new Business Areas
Rename or remove existing ones
Standard and Read-Only Users do not see the edit option.
Filtering by Business Area
Once Business Areas are applied, they can be used to filter:
The Enterprise Risk Console
Reports
The Advanced Export file
Many other screens across the system
Example: Attach a "Council" Business Area to relevant risks. You can then run a quarterly report filtered just for City Council’s top risks.
