{% hint style="info" %}
Note that the risk grid view will display the Risk items in the left most column(s) and Risk Control Measures (incl calculation of residual risk) in the right most calculation. Document Objects **tracing to** Risks (e.g. Potential Hazards) or **tracing from** Risk Control Measures (e.g. Requirements and Specifications) **are not** included.
{% endhint %}

Display additional Risk information by selecting columns in the **Display additional columns** dropdown and click **Refresh**.&#x20;

The columns can be **resized** using the mouse. The **risk grid view width** can be made larger using the **Width** dropdown.

### View Modes: Below (best for FMEA) vs Right (best for PHA)

The risk grid has two view modes:&#x20;

* **Below** - which displays the risk on a separate row and assocaited objects and controls on rows below this main row. This is the default view for FMEA like risks.
* **Right** - which attempts to display all involved risk objects on a single row. This is the default view for PHA like risks.&#x20;

### Editing Risks

Click Edit to enable editing of the **currently visible** risks in the grid (apply filters using the Search Bar and/or Column filters to narrow down the desired editing scope).&#x20;

Use the + and - buttons to add and remove Harms and Risk Control Measures to the risk.

Note that risks cannot be disabled in the Risk grid. Use the regular Disable mechanism to disable Risks.

### Adding new Risks

Use the **Add** button at the upper, right corner of teh view or when in Edit mode, the **Add** button in the lower right corner of the list. This will add a new risk row at the bottom of the table.

### Saving edited Risks

Click **Save** to save all edited and new Risks. Enter a **Change Commen**t in the displayed **Gap Form**. Note that this single Change Comment will be applied to all Risks edited in this session.&#x20;

### Exporting grid to Excel

Use the Action button to Generate an Excel report. This report will include all items in the listed pages.&#x20;
