Assignee: The Assignee dropdown provides a complete list of Risk assignees, with priority given to "No Assignee" and an option to filter Risks assigned to you.
Department: Users can easily navigate through all available departments and filter relevant ones with this dropdown.
Category: The Category dropdown provides a list of categories to which each vendor belongs.
Entities: This dropdown contains a comprehensive list of entities that the user has configured in the Entities section.
Note: The Risk Trend Graph and Mitigation Tasks chart do not support filtering by entities. So, make sure to reset the entity filter selection to view these charts.

Risk Metrics Cards
The Risk Metrics cards help track important metrics by displaying them at the top of the page.
Risk Heat Map
The Risk Heat Map offers a visual representation of risks, enabling users to quickly assess and prioritize them based on severity and potential impact. This helps decision-makers identify areas where additional resources may be needed.
You can generate Risk Heat Maps using any Inherent and Residual Risk formula of your choice. Customize the X and Y-axes assignments to fit your preferences. Additionally, the Risk Heat Map includes a Treatment Strategy filter, enabling you to drill down based on treatment strategies.
