Risk Matrix Records

Risk Matrix records determine how a Risk Matrix looks, as well as other information about the Risk Matrix. This topic provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist for the Risk Matrix family and appear on the Risk Matrix Layout datasheet. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields.

Field	Data Type	Description	Behavior and Usage
Alias Format Mask	Character	Specifies the format in which you want to display the risk rank values in the cells on the risk matrix.	The format must be defined using the following formula: {c} - {r} - {pl} - {t} Where: {c} is the alias for the column. {r} is the alias for the row. {pl} is the alias for the protection level. {t} is the alias for the risk threshold. The delimiter in this formula is a dash (-), but it can be customized. For example, you could use a colon (:), in place of a dash. You can exclude from the format any parameter that you do not want to see on the risk matrix. The default format is {c} - {r}.
Consequence Axis	Character	Specifies the axis on which the consequence values are displayed.	You can choose from: X-Axis: Displays the consequence values along the x-axis. Y-Axis: Displays the consequence values along the y-axis. This value in this field is populated by the MI_RISK_MATRIX_AXIS System Code Table. When you change this value, the value in the Probability Axis field is updated automatically to display the opposite value. In the baseline Risk Matrix record and all new Risk Matrix records that you create, the default value is X-Axis.
Consequence Sort Order	Character	Specifies the order in which the consequence values are displayed.	In the baseline Risk Matrix record and all new Risk Matrix records that you create, the default value is Ascending.
Currency	Character	Specifies the unit of measure that appears next to the Consequence box on the Financial tab of the Risk Matrix.	After the Risk Matrix has been used by a module in GE Digital APM, this field is disabled, and you cannot modify the value. In the baseline Risk Matrix record and all new Risk Matrix records that you create, the default value is USD.
Default	Boolean	Indicates whether or not this Risk Matrix is the default Risk Matrix.	You can specify only one Risk Matrix record as the default. In the Standard Practice Risk Matrix record, the Default check box is cleared. In the Default Risk Matrix record, the Default check box is selected.
Dialog Title	Character	Specifies the title on the Risk Assessment window that appears when accessed from an item that uses this Risk Matrix (e.g., an Action in an Asset Strategy).	In the baseline Risk Matrix record and all new Risk Matrix records that you create, the Dialog title box is empty, indicating that the default title is being used.
Financial Precision	Numeric	Specifies the number of decimal places to display when rendering financial values in a Risk Matrix.	If no Financial Precision value is specified, a Financial Precision of 2 (e.g., 1.00) will be used. In the baseline Risk Matrix record and all new Risk Matrix records that you create, the Financial Precision box is empty, indicating that the default precision value is being used.
Hide Numeric Risk Rank?	Boolean	Indicates whether or not you want to display the numeric risk rank values in the Risk Matrix.	If this check box is cleared, the numeric risk rank values are displayed. If this check box is selected, the numeric risk rank values are hidden in the Risk Matrix. In the baseline Risk Matrix record and all new Risk Matrix records that you create, this check box is cleared.
Hide Probability and Consequence Names	Boolean	Indicates whether or not the Probability and Consequence names are hidden on the Risk Matrix.	If the check box is cleared, the names are displayed. If the check box is selected, the names are hidden. In the baseline Risk Matrix record and all new Risk Matrix records that you create, this check box is cleared.
Hide Protection Level Text	Boolean	Hide Protection Level Text.	This allows the user to hide the text boxes that normally show the unmitigated and mitigated protection level values in the Risk Assessment window.
Lock Mitigated Consequence	Boolean	Indicates whether or not the mitigated consequence is locked.	When this check box is selected, for mitigated risk assessments, you will be able to modify only the probability value. You will not be able to modify the consequence value. In the baseline Risk Matrix record and all new Risk Matrix records that you create, the check box is selected.
Logarithmic Scale	Boolean	Indicates whether or not the y-axis will use a logarithmic scale on a graph that displays risk values.	In the baseline Risk Matrix record and all new Risk Matrix records that you create, this check box is selected.
Mitigated Risk Rank	Character	Specifies the label of the section on the Risk Assessment window that displays the mitigated risk rank.	The default label is Mitigated Risk Rank. In the baseline Risk Matrix record and all new Risk Matrix records that you create, the Mitigated Risk Rank box is empty, indicating that the default title is being used.
Mitigation Label	Character	Specifies the label of the section on the Risk Assessment window that displays the name of the item that is mitigating the risk.	The default label is Mitigated By. In the baseline Risk Matrix record and all new Risk Matrix records that you create, the Mitigation Label box is empty, indicating that the default title is being used.
Probability Axis	Character	Specifies the axis on which the probability values are displayed.	You can choose from: X-Axis: Displays the probability values along the x-axis. Y-Axis: Displays the probability values along the y-axis. This value in this field is populated by the MI_RISK_MATRIX_AXIS System Code Table. If you change this value, the value in the Consequence Axis field will be updated automatically to display the opposite value. In the baseline Risk Matrix record and all new Risk Matrix records that you create, the default value is Y-Axis.
Probability Sort Order	Character	Specifies the order in which the probability values are displayed.	This value in this field is populated by the MI_RISK_MATRIX_SORT_ORDER System Code Table. In the baseline Risk Matrix record and all new Risk Matrix records that you create, the default value is Descending.
Risk Matrix Name	Character	The name of the Risk Matrix.	This value is used to identify the record. It does not, however, appear anywhere on the Risk Assessment interface. In the baseline Risk Matrix record, the Risk Matrix name is Default.
Show Financial Impact	Boolean	Indicates whether or not the Financial Impact field of the Risk Rank family appears on each category tab the Risk Matrix.	This field appears on the Risk Matrix Layout and the Risk Matrix Definition datasheets. If the Show Financial Impact check box is cleared, the Financial Impact value does not appear on each category section of the Risk Matrix. If the Show Financial Impact check box is selected, then the Financial Impact value appears on each category section of the Risk Matrix. In the baseline Risk Matrix record and all new Risk Matrix records that you create, this check box is cleared by default.
Unmitigated Risk Label	Character	Specifies the label of the section on the Risk Assessment window that displays the name of the risk.	The default label is Risk Of. In the baseline Risk Matrix record and all new Risk Matrix records that you create, the Unmitigated Risk Label box is empty, indicating that the default label is being used.
Unmitigated Risk Rank	Character	Specifies the label of the section on the Risk Assessment window that displays the unmitigated risk rank. Note: If you are using the Asset Criticality Analysis feature, this value will also be used as the label of the column that displays the unmitigated risk rank in ACA.	The default label is Unmitigated Risk Rank. In the baseline Risk Matrix record and all new Risk Matrix records that you create, the Unmitigated Risk Rank box is empty, indicating that the default label is being used.
Use Aliases?	Boolean	Indicates whether or not you want to display the aliases that have been defined for the records that are linked to the Risk Matrix record. For example, if the Alias field in the Consequence record High contains the value E, when the Use Aliases? check box is selected, instead of seeing only the value High in the Risk Matrix, the value E will appear.	In the baseline Risk Matrix record and all new Risk Matrix records that you create, this check box is disabled and cleared. It becomes enabled only when you select the Use Maximum Risk Rank check box.
Use Maximum Risk Rank	Boolean	Indicates whether or not the overall risk rank will equal the largest value of all selected values (except for the Financial value) in Risk Matrix.	If this check box is cleared, the overall risk rank will equal the sum of all selected values (except for the Financial value). After the Risk Matrix has been used by a module in GE Digital APM, this field is disabled, and you cannot modify the selection. In the baseline Risk Matrix record and all new Risk Matrix records that you create, this check box is cleared.
