Add a Risk, Issue, Decision, Action, or Request Change (RIDAC) record to your project in the Project Workspace. Adding RIDAC records enable you to keep a track of risks or issues during the project life cycle and help in analyzing the outcome of a project.

Before you begin

Role required: it_project_manager

About this task

You can select the type of record you want to create, fill in the required details, and associate it to your project. You can use the RIDAC page in Project Workspace to view, add, manage, and evaluate all the RIDAC records.

For information about RIDAC records for project management, see RIDAC records for a project in Project Workspace.

Procedure

Open a project from the planning page of Project Workspace.
For information on how to navigate to the planning page, see Access the new Project Workspace.
Open the RIDAC page of the project by selecting RIDAC from the list.
The RIDAC list view displays the default columns, and you can configure additional columns. To add additional columns, navigate to the platform list view of individual RIDAC tables and configure the list view to display the additional columns.
Note:
The state field does not display any values for risk and decision records. You can configure and add State[risk_state] & State[decision_state] columns for the risk and decision tables to the RIDAC list view.

From the More actions menu, select the type of RIDAC record that you want to create.
