Setting up Failure Mode Criticalities

Criticalities describe the severity of failure consequences. They are assigned to risk matrix entries to provide text in the risk matrix. They can also be selected when you are using weighted severity and relative risk to assess risk for a failure mode.
If your APM environment is configured to use AssetWise Enterprise Interoperability (AWEIS) and anomaly risk assessment integration, you can also select the anomaly risk assessment result to use when this criticality is applied. For more information, see Setting up APM for Anomaly Risk Assessment and Integration.
This topic explains how to add failure mode criticalities.
