To do this: As the organization owner, navigate to the Advanced Settings section in Ketryx.

You can customize the dropdown options for each risk assessment parameter, such as probabilities and severities, within Ketryx's risk management module by leveraging the platform's advanced settings. To do this:

As the organization owner, navigate to the **Advanced Settings** section in Ketryx.

Within the **Risk Management** configuration, you can define custom parameters for both probabilities and severities that align with your organization's specific risk assessment criteria.

These custom values can be applied globally, allowing you to standardize the risk assessment process across your organization while ensuring it fits your unique requirements.

For detailed instructions on how to configure these settings, please refer to the [Advanced Settings documentation](https://docs.ketryx.com/reference/advanced-settings). Our Client Operations team can also provide assistance to ensure the risk assessment parameters are correctly tailored to your specific needs.
