Add loss scenarios
Add a loss scenario and define the related asset dependencies in your business continuity plan. You can then view the details of the assets in BCM UIB Workspace and then plan a recovery strategy for an identified loss scenario.

Role required: sn_bcm.admin, sn_bcm.program_manager, or sn_bcm.planner
About this task
If the plan was created from a plan template, loss scenarios may already be pre-configured. When the plan template's "Synchronize loss scenario assets with recovery strategy assets" option is enabled, asset lists are kept in sync with the recovery strategy automatically.

Select the Loss scenarios tab and select Add.

Navigate to Related asset dependencies tab and select Add.

What to do next
After the loss scenario is created, you can populate its Recovery tasks tab in bulk by selecting Add groups or Add tasks. The Select task template groups dialog automatically filters by the loss scenario's element definition (for example, only groups applicable to Datacenters are shown for a Loss of Datacenters scenario). For field-level details, see Add recovery tasks.
