Assigning Tags to Risks

Risk register tags

Select the Risks tab and then the Registers tab in the left navigation panel.

Select Risk by clicking on the Risk name.

Risk Tags are used to categorise the risk, e.g. strategic, operational, financial, or human.

Click the text line under Tags in the Risk Details screen.

Type a tag name into the search bar at the top of the drop-down menu that appears.

If there are no pre-existing tag names or the tag names are not suitable press enter to create new.

Select Yes to confirm and save the new tag.

To create Tags, users must have the relevant permission. Refer to this article to find and set the relevant permission, or contact your administrator.

If the tag already exists, it will appear in the dropdown list when the Tags field is selected.

Select the relevant tag from the list.

Adding Labels  (Risk Assessment)

The Labels field is where tags are displayed. 

Tags are used for identifying Risk Assessment types, examples being inherent, current, planned, residual, etc.

The process of adding a tag is identical to adding a Risk Register tag.
