Risk Templates
Select the Options tab, select Risk Templates and then select the required menu option.
Risk Templates can be created using any number of Risk Types selected from the Risk Types. Therefore, if there are a common set of Risks across a number of areas, you can create a Template of those Risks, and then automatically create those Risks for each project. It would then be the task of each project manager to discuss, rate and manage the Risks in their area using the pre-populated information.
Another example is that you could create a Risk Template for each Business Unit in a typical hospital or company, and then create the Risks (using the Risk Template) for each Business Unit. Then, all the Risk Manager needs to do is review their list of Risks, delete those that are not applicable, and add others that are.

Event. Risk Events can be edited by clicking the edit button. See “Risk Events” on page 96 for more information about editing Risk Events.

You can delete a Risk Event from the selected Risk Template by clicking the Delete link text beside the Risk Event.
To add new Risk Events, select a Risk Type and then a Risk Event from the drop-down lists, and click Add to add the selected Risk Event to the Risk Template.

See “Standards” on page 101 for more information about editing Risk Events.

Select the Options tab, select Risk Templates and then select Create Risks From Templates from the menu.
Select the Risk Template you want to use to create the Risks from the Template Name drop- down list.

Select the Risks Events for which you want to use to create a Risk (the Risk Events with a tick against them will be used to create Risks when you click the Create Risks button).
