Equipment Make/Model Risk Factor Tab

Path: Organization > Lookups > Equipment Make/Model / Risk Factor Tab

The Risk Factor Tab is a convenient way to specify the Risk Level for an Equipment item record; however, it does not relate to risk levels for PMs.

To complete the window, you have the option of selecting some of the pre-defined values in the Risk Formula field that are calculated using Lookups > Risk Factor Formula. If the Equipment Make/Model check box is marked on the Lookups > Risk Factor Formula window, the record is available for selection here.

If you select Default in the Risk Formula field, you can choose the settings that apply to this particular Make/Model to calculate the Risk Level.

WebTMA uses the following hierarchy to determine the Risk Level for an equipment item:

• Equipment Record (entered manually or calculated from the record)
• Make/Model
• Device Types

The system looks first to the item record. If a Risk Level is not available, the next record checked is the Equipment Make/Model window, and finally the Lookups > Device Types record.

Even though the newly created Equipment records that are associated with an Equipment Make/Model record default to the Risk Level calculated on this Tab, you can change it manually on the individual record.
