How do I Create, Edit, and Delete a Risk Meter?

2. Use the filters to reduce the data that displays in the view.

3. To save your search as a new Risk Meter, click Save Group.
4. Name the Risk Meter.
5. Select the Roles that you want assigned to the Risk Meter.

If you are using hierarchical risk meters, you can create descendant risk meters.

Creating a descendant inherits all the search terms from the parent and so you only need to add new search terms to the original search. For more information, see Getting Started with Hierarchical Risk Meters.
