Manually changing the statuses of risks

When working in the Risks section, you can manually change the statuses of any risks with the Active status to the Accepted status and vice versa. When working in the Assets section, you can change the status only for Vulnerability risks and only from the Active status to the Accepted status.

You can also assign the Accepted status to a risk when assigning the Resolved status to events that are associated with this risk.

To manually change the status of a risk:

1. Open the risk details area or the window containing detailed information about the risk.
2. Open the Change status drop-down list.
3. Depending on the status you want to assign to the risk, select one of the following items in the drop-down list:
   • Accepted – if you want to change the risk status from Active to Accepted.
   • Active – if you want to revert the risk back to the Active status.

   A window with a confirmation prompt opens.

4. If events are associated with the selected risk and you want to simultaneously assign the Resolved status to all these events, select the Assign the Resolved status to all related events check box.

   Risks may be associated with events when the application registers events of certain types based on Asset Management technology.

5. In the prompt window, click OK.
