Events can be viewed, added, edited, deleted, sorted, and exported to the clipboard from IDENTIFY/STRUCTURE > IDENTIFY > Review/Refine Model > Events screen.
Before adding Events, we suggest that you read how Riskion defines Events -- Riskion Taxonomy (Risk Elements and Risk Measures).
Add Events
For the empty events list, the Add Events and Add from predefined sets of Events buttons are displayed.
Clicking Add Events one at a time or paste from the clipboard will display a dialog:
Here you can either:
a) enter one or more elements, along with brief descriptions (a simple form of an information document which you can modify later using the Edit description or i buttons).
b) The Paste from Clipboard button will paste elements that have been previously placed on the clipboard into the hierarchy. These elements can be placed on the clipboard in a variety of ways:
- By copying from adjacent rows/columns in an Excel spreadsheet
- By copying from adjacent row/s columns in a Word document
- By copying from a tab delimitated text file, where the tab is used to separate the element name from the element description.
Add Events from predefined sets of Events
Events can also be added from predefined sets of Events. This is determined by the site administrator.
If you have existing events, you can position to one of the events and then click Add > Insert Events Below to have them appear below the event currently selected.
In addition to adding events from the Events page, you can upload a .xlsx file with the list of Events to the Datagrid (Collect Input > DataGrid)
Delete Events
Events can be deleted one at a time, or several at one time. Simply check the check box(es) to the right of the event(s) to delete and then click the Delete button at the top.
HINT: It is advisable to save a copy of the model before deleting many elements in case you want to save a copy of your model before the deletion. You can also use the Model Snapshots feature to revert to what you had.
Events can be sorted:
- Permanently where the order will be saved and applied throughout the application; OR
- Temporarily where the sorting is only on the Events screen and can be reset
Sorting which can be saved in the model is done by dragging/dropping an element to the desired position in the list; or by using the Sort button where you can sort the elements in the list by name or events' risks, ascending or descending, as shown below:
Sorting done by clicking the column headings on the Events Grid is only temporary and can be reset using the button.
Note: Sorting by drag-drop is hidden when the grid is sorted by column since it will just re-sort back the list by column.
