3. Drill down on the Name field hyperlink for a selected project record for which you want a status report that incorporates risks.
4. Click the Status Report view tab.
5. Select the status report record with which the issue will be associated.
6. In the Project Status Item subview list, create a new record.
7. In the Issues field of the new record, click the select button to display the Pick Risk dialog box.
8. In the Pick Risk dialog box, select a risk record and then click OK, or use the following substeps to create a new risk that will also be visible in the Project Risks view:
   1. In the Pick Risk dialog box, click New to display a Pick Risk form.
   2. Complete the fields in the form, and then click Save to return to the Pick Risk list.
   3. In the Pick Risk list, make sure the new risk is highlighted, and then click OK.
9. Complete the necessary fields.

   NOTE:  Repeat Step 6 through Step 9 until you have added every risk item.
