    • Configure risk factors to define the criteria the risk assessment functionality evaluates a request. Each risk factor uses one of three evaluation types: Condition, Skill, or Subflow.

    Por Que e Quando Desempenhar Esta Tarefa

    Risk factors define the criteria evaluated when scoring a request. Each factor is assigned a weight that reflects its impact on the overall risk score. The utility supports three evaluation types:
    • Condition: Evaluates the disclosure against rule-based conditions defined in risk factor conditions. Each condition tests a specific field value and assigns a score when the condition is met. Use this type for deterministic, field-based evaluations.
    • Skill: Uses an AI skill to evaluate the disclosure. Use this type when the evaluation requires natural language understanding or analysis that cannot be expressed as a simple field condition.
      Nota:
      • The skill is available in the base system to evaluate an COI request only when you have installed and configured Now Assist for Legal Service Delivery (LSD) that is a paid application.
      • You can access the skill by navigating to Now Assist Skill Kit > Home > Custom skills and selecting Legal Risk Evaluator Prompt.
      For more information, see Now Assist for Legal Service Delivery (LSD).
    • Subflow: Executes a Flow Designer subflow to evaluate the disclosure. Use this type when the evaluation requires complex logic, external integrations, or multi-step processing.

      Subflow

      A Subflow reference field appears.

      Select the Flow Designer subflow that executes custom evaluation logic and returns a risk score in the Subflow field.
      Condition
      • Right-click on the form header and select Save.
      • In the Risk factor conditions related list, select New.
      • In the Name field, enter descriptive name.
      • In the Table field, select the table on which the condition is evaluated.
      • In the Risk factor field, select parent risk factor. It is auto-populated when creating from the related list.
      • Select the Active check box to activate the condition.
      • In the Order field, enter the evaluation order.

    4. Select Submit.

    Resultado

    The risk factor is configured and active. When the risk assessment utility evaluates a request, it processes each active risk factor based on its evaluation type: The scores from all active risk factors are aggregated to produce the overall risk score, which determines the risk level (Low, Medium, or High) and the corresponding approval routing.
