Setting up Evaluation Groups

An evaluation group is an identifier that restricts consequence evaluation categories to specific asset types or damage mechanisms library entries. For example, a pop-up questionnaire that analysts use to evaluate the Health and Safety effects of a failure mode in an RBI analysis can display one set of questions for a Tank Roof asset and another set for a Tank Floor asset, depending on the evaluation groups assigned to the asset types and evaluation categories.

This topic explains how to create evaluation groups. For information about assigning evaluation groups see:

•	Consequence Severity Settings – the topics under this heading explain how to add evaluation groups to categories for probability, health and safety, environmental, and reputation questionnaires
