The Risks tab enables you to enter the following data:

  • A name for the risk (short description)
  • The type of risk (click on the drop-down arrow and select, or type the name in; typed names are not added to the global risk type list)
  • A weighting for the risk
  • Some notes on the risk (this text is also displayed in the Notes window; it cannot be edited in that window).

To edit an existing item, click on the required item in the list on the left of the window.

Note:

Although Enterprise Architect does not currently provide detailed reports on risks within a model, you can use the Automation Interface or similar tools to create your own custom reports based on risk information you enter;
