RBI Bulk Evergreening 581

About RBI Bulk Evergreening

RBI Bulk Evergreening is the process of duplicating active analyses in bulk based on the associated process unit or functional location. The evergreened analyses use the latest Risk Completed data available to create more up-to-date analyses for the process unit or functional location.

When to Evergreen

When an analysis is initially created, its record contains details that are observed at the time of the assessment. Evergreening is useful when a functional location or process unit has undergone changes. These changes can include the implementation of risk mitigation strategies or maintenance. Additionally, evergreening is useful after a set amount of time has passed since the previous analysis.

Batches

During the duplication process, you select or create an Evergreening Batch ID to group your evergreened analyses. You can filter analyses based on the batch in the RBI Bulk Evergreening workspace. The Evergreen Batch ID that you select will be copied to the Scenario ID field in the duplicated analysis.
