Define a threshold amount for the risk event response template

Define a threshold limit for assigning risk event approvers. A threshold limit is defined to determine if a risk event needs an approver.

Before you begin

Role required: sn_risk.manager and sn_risk.admin

About this task

Based on the risk loss amount, you can decide whether approvers are required for the risk events losses. For example, for any risk event that results in a loss of $1000 or less, an approver isn’t needed. But for any amount beyond $1000, the risk event must be evaluated and an approver is automatically assigned. There can be multiple levels of approvals depending on your defined thresholds. For a better understanding, see the following image.

In the previous example, the following rules are applied.

• If the loss is between $0-$100, approval isn’t required.
• If the loss is between $101 – $200, approval is required and approval goes to Caitlin.
• If the loss is over $201, approval is required from both Caitlin and the Risk manager.
