Dashboard Widgets: Risk Category Distribution

Charts your risk register by category so you can see where risk concentrates. Use this Risk Manager dashboard widget to spot clusters and prioritise risk treatment by theme.

Written by Hylet Pistorius

The Risk Category Distribution widget displays a chart of risks grouped by category. Use it to see how your risk profile is spread across categories.

What this widget is for

Add this widget to your dashboard when you own or manage risks in Risk Manager and want visibility of where your risks are concentrated. For example, a risk manager can see which categories hold the most risks and focus their treatment plans there. This widget requires the Risk Manager feature.

What the widget shows

The widget displays a donut or bar chart. Each segment represents a risk category, and a legend identifies the categories. You can include categories that hold no risks, and show risks with no category as their own segment.

Quick Steps

  • Select the Edit Layout button on the dashboard.

  • Select the Add widget button. The Add Dashboard Widget window opens.

  • On the Details tab, enter a widget header and select Risk Category Distribution from the Type dropdown.

  • On the Configuration tab, set the options listed below.

  • Select the green Save button. The widget displays on the dashboard.

  • Select the Done button to exit editing mode.

Configuration options

  • Company Scope: choose whether the widget uses data from the currently selected company or from all companies (Selected Company / All Companies).

  • Chart Kind: choose a Donut or Bar chart.

  • Legend position: choose where the legend appears: Top or Right.

  • Include zero counts: show risk categories that hold no risks.

  • Include uncategorised: show risks with no category as their own segment.

  • Statuses: choose which risk statuses to include (for example Active, Draft or Awaiting Approval).

  • Scope: limit the risks to those you own, created, participate in, or all risks (Owned By Me / Created By Me / I Participate / All Participate / All).

Every widget also has common display options for the header, title, subtitle, help text and title styling. See Managing Dashboard Widgets for details.
