Models List

Riskion® models exist within workgroups.  Most users will be members of only one workgroup.  If you are a member of more than one workgroup, then you will be able to select which workgroup you want to work with using the select Workgroup pull-down menu at the top. 

The Models List Page - Active Models Tab

By default, the active Riskion models are displayed. You can view Archives, Templates, and Deleted projects by clicking on the respective tab names.

You can see several commands by clicking the arrow icon to the right of the model name, or by simply right-clicking a row: 

A Riskion model contains a Likelihood and Impact model. There are separate menus for Likelihood and Impact models for commands applicable to both of the models. 

The checkboxes to the left of the model names allow you to select one or more models and do specific actions such as Download, Delete, and Archive.

Deleted models go to the Deleted tab which can be restored or deleted permanently. 

Archived models go to the Archives tab which can be activated or deleted. 

The models' list page shows the following columns by default: 

• Online/Offline Online status toggle, 
• Last access date/time, and 
• the Status column which shows the project availability and additional details/actions in addition to being Online or Offline

Click the New Model button to create a new Riskion model. 

The New model prompt will open where you will enter the Model name, an optional description, and select the Model Type. 

Depending on the Model Type you selected, you can select from the "Based on Option Set" dropdown. 

The "Option sets" define the model options such as the wording, evaluation settings, etc -- which you can also modify after the model is created. 

A Riskion model can be Risk, Opportunity, or Mixed (Combination of Risk and Opportunity). 

The Riskion model type is defined when creating a model, or in Identify > Define Model > Description/Details page after the model is created. 

• Risk -  A risk model assesses the Risks (expected losses) from uncertain events. Controls or Treatments are defined to reduce the expected losses. 
• Opportunity - An opportunity model assesses the Opportunities (expected benefits) from uncertain events rather than the Risks (expected losses) from uncertain events. Stimulants are defined to increase gains. 
• Mixed - A mixed model assesses the Opportunities (expected benefits) from uncertain events and the Risks (expected losses) from uncertain events.

  
  

A model that is online can be accessed by evaluators for their input.

The Project Manager can place a model offline if so desired.

Evaluators won't be able to evaluate a model that is offline. Accessing the evaluator's link will redirect them to the login page with a message stating that the model is offline and to contact the Project Manager for additional information.

The Project Manager can place the currently open model online or offline from the top bar using the toggle switch:

The Model's Online or Offline Status can also be updated from the Model's list page which can be changed whether the model is open or close:

Clicking the   button will open a window as shown below:

Click "Select File..." to browse for the file on your computer that you want to upload as a new Riskion model. The Model name is just the same as the file name, you can change this as desired.

 You can create a new project from:

• a file previously downloaded from a Riskion model and stored on your computer (.ahps)
• an archived file (.zip or .rar) containing one .ahps model
• a text file containing textual information about the model to be created (.txt)

Creating a copy of your model (Save as) is helpful if you want to experiment with some changes, but want to keep a copy of your model before making any changes.

To make a copy of a Riskion model, simply go to the Models list, right-click the model or click  to the right of the model you want to make a copy, and then select "Save as...".

A modal prompt will be displayed as shown below:

There are also options available: 

• Copy Participants - copy the participants with their judgments (if any) 
• Camouflage Participants Email - assign a random email name
• Camouflage Participants Name - assign a random participant name
• Camouflage Sources Information - (Source1, Source2...)
• Camouflage Events Information -  (Event1, Event2...)
• Copy Snapshots data - include the snapshots' data of the original model to the copied one
• Save as Version - save the model into a specific Riskion version. This is helpful when you want to downgrade your model if in case you want to use it on a site with a lower version.

When you right-click the model or click  to the right of the model name will display several commands:

• Open model
• Save as - to save a copy of the model with a different name
• Archive - to archive a model 
• Download 
• Delete 
• Get Model link and copy to clipboard - model link with a passcode 
• Options specific to the Likelihood and Impact models: 
  • A Riskion model contains a Likelihood and an Impact model. Depending on the selected model menu, the following commands are available.  
    • Collect input - go to the Evaluation 
    • Evaluation status - go to the Evaluation status page 
    • Get links... - displays a modal prompt where you can copy the Model link, Anytime evaluation link, TeamTime Evaluation link, and TeamTime Brainstorming 
    • Send Invitations - go to the Anytime invitation page 
    • Results - go to the Events grid
• Create Template or Default Option Set - create a template or default option sets from the model 
• Model Snapshots - open the model snapshots. This works even the model is close
• Model Logs 

If you want to download, delete or archive several models at once, you can use the checkboxes at the left of the screen to select the models and then select the action you want to perform. 

When creating a new model, the new model's terminologies will be taken from either of the two:

1. Option Sets - use the wording template specified on the selected options set's "Model Properties > Model Details" page. For example, below is the wording template of the "Risk" option set selected above. The newly created model will have the same wording. 
2. Workgroup Wording Templates - checking the "Use workgroup wording templates" checkbox will use the "Workgroup Wording Templates" instead of the selected Option Sets wording. 

For existing models, you can update the element names on the IDENTIFY/STRUCTURE > Model Properties > Model Details page.
