    Note

    In instances where the number of risk levels have changed, e.g. from 5 (default) to 3, you’ll be prompted to either confirm the changes or re-map the levels.

    To confirm the changes, select the Remove all previous values and reset impacted scales to not set radio button.

    To re-map the levels, select the Choose mapping radio button. This allows you to determine where previous values fall within the new custom mapping. After you’ve made your selection, click Save.
