Consequence Records

Consequence records determine the consequence levels available within a Risk Matrix. This topic provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist for the Consequence family and appear on the Consequence Definition datasheet. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields.

Field	Data Type	Description	Behavior and Usage
Alias	Character	An alias for the consequence.	When the Use Aliases? check box is selected in the associated Risk Matrix record, the value in the Alias field in the Consequence record appears in the column heading along with the consequence name. In addition, if the Alias Format Mask field in the associated Risk Matrix record contains the value {c}, the value in the Alias field in the Consequence 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).
Color Code	Character	The HEX or RGB code for the specific colors used in Risk Matrix	None
Consequence	Numeric	A numeric value representing the severity of the consequence.	This value appears on the column heading in the risk matrix. After the Risk Matrix has been used by a module in GE Digital APM, this field is disabled, and you will not able to modify it.
Description	Character	A description of the severity of consequence.	This field is populated automatically based upon the value in the Name field. It is populated with a System Code in the MI_RISK_CONSEQUENCE_DESC System Code Table, which contains the same ID as the System Code that is stored in the Name field. In the risk matrix, this value appears when you pause on the column heading.
Name	Character	The name of the consequence.	This field contains a list that is populated based upon the MI_RISK_CONSEQUENCE System Code Table. This value appears on the column heading in the risk matrix.
