Before creating a risk scoring matrix, you need to first define risk thresholds.

To create a risk scoring matrix:

1. Click Administration.
2. On the Administration navigation bar, click Enterprise Data.

   3. In the Matrix Size field, double-click and click Select.
5. In the Select Matrix Size dialog box:
   1. Choose a threshold level for the Probability Threshold Level and Impact Threshold Level fields.

      Note: You must have already defined thresholds with the number of levels you are assigning to the matrix. If you do not have a threshold with the same number of levels, you will be able to select the matrix size, but you will not be able to add a threshold.
