Change Risk Assessment and fields on the form

[Sam Ogden]

Hi All,

We are in the middle of revamping our change process.  As part of this I've installed the change Management - Risk Assessment v2 plugin.  My change manager has created a risk assessment, however a couple of the risk assessment questions are either also on the form or can be derived from information on the form.  I was wondering if it is possible to have the calculation run based off the answers on the risk assessment and also some fields on the form?

If this is not possible, can I default answers on the risk assessment based off values in fields on the form, or is it possible to fill in values in fields on the form based off answers from the risk assessment?

Thanks

Sam

You can use Risk Conditions based on fields on the form. The higher values between Risk Conditions & Risk Assessments will be used.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the above.  What I am looking for is some way that fields on the form can also be considered within the risk assessment.  Its mainly 2 fields - we have an environment field on the form.  If the environment is 'Production' the change manager wants this to add to the total score.  The second is a list field called 'Key client'.  On this if the list contains a value then we would want it to add a score to the total score.

These 2 fields are on the form so it is easy for reporting, but we don't want end users to have to fill them out on the form and then add a similar question within the risk assessment.  If it is not possible to combine fields on the form with fields on the risk assessment within the score calculation, is it possible to add these 2 questions to the risk assessment, but get them to be pre-populated with the answers already filled in from the form?

Thanks

Sam

I understand what you want to do, but not sure if/how to make that work.

Hi Michael,

Rather than trying to get the risk assessment to have matching questions that pre-populate based on the values on the form, would it be possible to amend the assessment score being used in the calculation.

From my understanding the calculation is done using the script include 'ChangeRiskAsmtSNC' from what I can tell the '_calculateAsmtRisk' function is used.  Would it be possible to extend this function to check the 2 fields on the form and depending on the values add to the score within this function?

Not sure if this is possible or suitable?

Cheers
