How to Create New Risk Register Drop-Down Fields

This information is for superusers only.

If you have a risk field with a limited set of possible values that you want to track, and it’s not on the default risk register entry, you can create a custom drop-down field by creating a risk register answer response group.

1. First, create any needed answer choices to populate the drop-down list. Go to Settings → Response Choices and stay on the Answer Choices page. Click on the + sign button to create a new answer choice.

6. Now, when you view or create a risk register entry, the new field you just created will show up at the bottom.
