Only primary action plans are considered, with the exception of Shortest task frequency, which includes secondary action plans as well. If versions are in use, only the current version of the failure mode is included.Clickfor any of the values to open a dialog listing failure modes that represent that value. In the example, you could open the dialog next to Criticality to view a list failure modes with the criticality score of “Extreme”.
The Assets tab shows a list of assets in the same branch of the hierarchy with their summaries.You can update an asset’s risk summaries: click the Tools menu and then Update Risk Summaries. All of the risk summaries for the asset are recalculated. To update all of the risk summaries for the site, click the Tools menu, Strategy Development, and Update Risk Summaries. You can also set up the Update Risk Summaries scheduled action to perform the function automatically on schedule.Viewing Assets with Similar Risk
