Frequently Asked Questions
If you are a Default Assignee, it means that you occupy a position in the risk management workflow and that you will be required to carry out an action, based on the assigned queue status, in the event a new risk is submitted.
You may be a Default Assignee at a company or departmental level. At a departmental level, you will be responsible for an action(s) in the workflow that are submitted and designated as being associated with your department. At a company level, you will be responsible for a stage(s) of the workflow for risks submitted that do not fall within the departmental workflows. This may be due to an absence of a departmental Default Assignee or the risk not being designated as being associated to any department when it was submitted.
The stages of the workflow for which you may be a default assignee include:
1. Waiting for Impact Analysis
2. Waiting for Impact Analysis Approval
3. Waiting for Control Identification and Analysis of Residual Risk, and the Defining of Action Plans
4. Waiting for Reviewing Control Effectiveness
Should you be required to carry out an action(s) as a Default Assignee you will be notified via email automatically. You may also assign your designated action to another system user if you believe they are better placed to execute it. Additionally, in the case of completing the impact analysis for a risk, a user may fill in part(s) of the information without completing it, save it (by clicking the save button), and then assign it to another user who may be better placed to provide the information. It should be noted, that financial impact, in these circumstances, is a mandatory field to complete and should be completed prior to reassigning.
