Viewing Risks
The Risk Manager main page lists every risk your role can see. Use the controls along the top to filter, sort, and export the list, then click any row to open its preview drawer — or right-click for the context menu — and continue to Risk Details from there.
Beacon Card
A Beacon summary card appears at the top of the Risk Manager page — one line showing how many risks Beacon is watching and a severity breakdown if anything needs attention, or an all-clear message. Click View in Monitor to open the full findings list in VSEC Monitor. See Beacon for what Beacon watches for and how each finding type is triggered.
Filters
- Filter by assets — Select one or more assets, or leave the filter empty for all assets.
- Include archived risks — Show archived items so you can open them and Restore. While enabled, a Show archived chip appears above the table; clear it to hide archived risks again.
Columns
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Status | Lifecycle label — Design and Test rows show Open, In Progress, or Closed; Monitor rows can also show Triage. Archived risks show Archived |
| Origin | Risk origin — Design, Test, or Monitor |
| Heading | The risk’s title |
| Asset | The asset(s) this risk is attached to, as clickable chips (the first two, with a +N overflow chip for the rest). Chips for archived assets render struck-through |
| Priority | Unassigned, Low, Medium, High, or Critical |
| Risk Score | The evidence-driven score; falls back to the original value when no current value exists, otherwise shows No Rating |
| Days Open | Days since the risk was created |
| Assigned | The risk’s assignee |
Click any column header to sort — except Asset, which is not sortable.
Preview Drawer
Clicking a row opens a preview drawer with the risk’s key fields. Click Open details in the drawer to go to the full Risk Details page.
Right-Click Context Menu
Right-click any row for quick actions without leaving the list:
- View preview / Open risk details.
- Add context… — opens the Add context dialog to add a note, attach files, or request context from someone outside your workspace.
- Change status — Triage, Open, In Progress, In Review, or Closed.
- Change priority — Critical, High, Medium, Low, or Unassigned.
- Assign to… — pick an assignee (or clear it).
- Attach assets… — check or uncheck assets to attach and detach them (the primary asset cannot be removed).
- Archive — with an optional Reason that is saved as a comment on the risk and logged in its Activity tab.
- On archived risks: Restore risk, and Delete permanently (requires the
deleteRMRiskspermission). The status, priority, assign, and attach actions are disabled while a risk is archived.
