Welcome Page

The Riskion Evaluation process usually starts with the Welcome Page where the Project Manager can give an introduction and instructions to the Evaluators.

Depending on the model you are currently evaluating, the welcome page can be for Likelihood or Impact evaluation. 

The Project Manager decides the navigation options available during the evaluation.

By default, the navigation box, and buttons can be available at the bottom of each of the evaluation steps.  (Note: A button can be disabled if not applicable to the step)

Sequential Navigation

The easiest and most common way to proceed through the evaluation is sequential -- by clicking the  button after entering any information requested on each page.  You can go back to a previous step using the button.

If you have previously entered judgments and requested to go back to an earlier step (see below) you click   to jump to the next screen that is unassessed.

Non-Sequential Navigation

Depending on options set by the Project Manager, you may have considerable flexibility in navigating through the evaluation without sequentially going step by step.  We recommend that you do this only if you have used Riskion before.  

The 'Current Step'' icon at the bottom left of the screen can be used to display a pop-up view of the hierarchy.  By clicking on any element in the hierarchy, you will jump to the first screen that elicits judgments' with respect to that element. The 'with respect to' for the current step is shown in blue.

If the Project Manager enables displaying the navigation box, you can click on any step to move either forward or backward.

The current step is displayed with a dark background.  The step numbers are colored as follows:

  • Red: judgment has not yet been made
  • Black: judgment has been made
  • Blue: Results or information steps

The number of steps (pages shown during the evaluation)  is NOT the same as the number of evaluations because:

a) some pages show information or results

b) some pages may have multiple evaluations.

 If you want to navigate directly to a step (assuming you remember what is at that step), you can click on the numbered step button, or you can click on the ellipses and be prompted for the step:

Click the 'Current Step'

This option is very useful if you want to have a quick look at all the steps of the evaluation with their short descriptions which enables you to know on which step you want to jump to. We recommend that you use this option for better navigation, especially on large structured models. Note that the color-coding is the same as for navigation box steps.

Likelihood and Impact Joined Evaluation

When the Project Manager sets it up to join the Likelihood and Impact evaluation, the Next button on the last step of the Likelihood Evaluation will redirect you to the first step of the Impact evaluation; 

and then the Previous button at the first step of the Impact Evaluation will redirect you to the last step of the Likelihood Evaluation. 

The Next button on the last step of the Impact evaluation will redirect you to the risk results.

and clicking the Previous button from the Risk Results will then revert you back to the Impact Evaluation's last step.
