Mapped Ratings

Purpose 

The Mapped Ratings feature is an essential tool to enable system administrators to map risk matrix cells from a child project to those of its parent project.

This process standardises risk evaluation across project hierarchies, ensuring consistency and clarity in risk assessment. 

Important Notes 

• The Mapped Ratings feature must be enabled in the settings. 
• Only a System Administrator can configure mapped ratings. 
• Projects must be organised in a hierarchical structure where the parent project uses a different risk matrix from its child projects. 

Step-by-Step Guide To Create a Mapped Rating

1. Navigate to Admin > Risk Matrices
    
2. Click the Mappings button located in the top-right corner of the risk matrices admin page
   
   

    

   
   

    

3. Select Source and Target Matrices:
   1. For the Source Risk Matrix, choose the child project’s matrix and select the appropriate Severity Category.
      
      
   2. For the Target Risk Matrix, choose the parent project’s matrix and select the corresponding Severity Category.  
      
      Once you select both the Source and Target, mappings initially appear as ‘Not mapped’. 
      
      

      
      

      
      
      
      
      
   3. Map the Rating Score:
      • Select a rating score from the Source Risk Matrix (e.g. 17).
      • Select the corresponding cell from the Target Risk Matrix (e.g. 25).
      • Click the green Map button below the Target Risk Matrix.
      • The mapped ratings will be displayed in the columns below. 
        
        
        
        
   4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all required ratings
      
       

To Update a Mapped Rating

• Reselect the new cells from the source and target matrices and click Map. This action replaces any previous mapping. 

To Delete a Mapped Rating

• Click on the mapped cell in the source matrix and select the Unmap button. 

To see the Mapped Ratings from the Risk List View: 

• Scope to the parent project and access the Risk List View. 
• Apply the Map Ratings filter (set to Yes) to refresh the view. 
• Mapped ratings will appear with an asterisk on the rating pill. 
• There is also a note on the top saying “Ratings mapped to xxxx”. 

Best Practices to Avoid Issues 

• While mapping ratings, select the Child project's Risk matrix on the left and the Parent project's Risk matrix on the right. 
• Choose the correct severity categories while mapping ratings. 
• Ensure accurate selection of cells when mapping ratings. 
• Scope the Risk List View / Datagrid / Risk Show View to the Parent matrix to view Mapped Ratings. 
  
  

Common Issues & Troubleshooting 

From what areas can the mapped ratings be seen? 

The Mapped Ratings can be seen in the following areas, when the filter ‘Map ratings’ is enabled: 

• Risk List View of the parent project 
• Project Show view 
• Risk Datagrid, when navigated from the above areas 
• Risk Show view and Bowtie, only when scoped to parent project 
• Filtered Report, when ‘Map Ratings to project’ input filter is specified correctly 
• PDF Exports from list views/show views/filtered reports that have mapped ratings 

How to identify if the Ratings are Mapped? 

• The Risk List View will display a note indicating that child project matrices are mapped to the parent project. 
• Mapped ratings will have an asterisk on the rating pills. 

Mapped Ratings Not Visible on Risk List View.

• Ensure the view is scoped to the parent project and that the Map Ratings filter is enabled.
• Verify that the correct severity category is assigned to the risk rating.
• Note that only the highest rating for each rating type is displayed. 

Mapped Ratings Not Visible on Risk Show View:

• Check that the risk is scoped to the parent project.
• Confirm the Map Ratings filter is set to Yes. 

Mapped Ratings Not Displayed on Project Show View:

• Ensure the Map Ratings filter is enabled on the Project Show view. 

Mapped Ratings Missing in Filtered Risk Reports:

• Confirm that the input filter Map ratings to project is correctly scoped to the parent project.
