Managing Risk Categories

From the Risk Categories screen, Admins can:

  • Add new categories

  • Edit category names by clicking on them

  • Delete unused categories

  • Merge two categories (transfers all risks and subcategories to the remaining one)

Merging will delete the selected category and move its risk assignments to the one you keep.

Turning Subcategories On or Off

  • Use the “Use subcategories” switch to enable or disable subcategories for your account

  • When enabled:

    • A subcategory dropdown will appear in the Risk Details screen

    • System filters and reports will include subcategory fields

  • Subcategories can be created, renamed, or deleted just like categories

  • Subcategories can only be merged within the same category
