Project

Sub-filter

Allows you to further refine the risks that are included in your register. For example, you might only want to display risks with a status of "Unresolved."

Opens the Jira advanced search screen, which you can use to define your sub-filter using the Jira Query Language (JQL).

Residual Risk View

Multi-project risk registers are a legacy feature that has been superseded by filter-based risk registers. You cannot edit this screen. If you select Convert, the system will create a filter for you that includes the required projects, and the register will be converted to a filter-based risk register (see above).
