Add a Protection Level Slider with Default Name and Description

The baseline Risk Matrix does not display a protection level slider by default, but the appropriate System Codes exist to allow you to add a protection level slider to the baseline Risk Matrix. Using these baseline System Codes, the default name and description of the protection level slider is Default. The name and description are concatenated in the tooltip when you pause on the protection level slider, as shown in the following image.

If you want to add a protection level slider with the default name and description, Default, you can do so using the following workflow, which assumes that:

You want to add the protection level slider to the Safety section of the Risk Matrix.
You want the protection level slider to contain levels 1 through 10.

To create the protection level slider based upon these assumptions:

Open the Risk Matrix record for the Risk Matrix to which you want to add the protection level slider.
In the Record Explorer pane, expand the Risk Category node, and then expand the Safety node.
Below the Safety node, select the Protection Level node, then select , and then select Add New Record.

Tip: If you do not see the Protection Level node at the bottom of the Record Explorer pane, select next to Related Families, and then select All Possible Families.
In the new Protection Level record, in the Name list, select Default.

Note: The Description cell is populated automatically with the value Default.
In the Alias box, enter any value. If the Alias Format Mask field in the associated Risk Matrix record contains the value {pl}, the value in the Alias field in the Protection Level record will be displayed in the cell in the Risk Matrix (according to the complete template that is defined in the Alias Format Mask field).
In the Factor box, enter a number by which you want to multiply each consequence and probability value that is selected in the Risk Matrix. Using our example, for this first Protection Level record, you would enter 1.
Save the record.
Repeat steps 3 through 7 until you have created ten Protection Level records with the factors 1 through 10.

When you are finished completing these steps, when you access the Safety section for an item that uses this Risk Matrix (e.g., an Action in ASM), the protection level slider will look like this:

In this image, you can see that the highest level of the slider is selected (with the factor of 10), causing the value in the selected cell to be 50 (the result of the calculation 1 x 5 x 10, where 1 is the selected consequence and 5 is the selected probability). You can also see that the tooltip displays the default name and description as a concatenated value, Default: Default.
