Getting Started with Dismissal Reasons

Modified on Mon, 9 Nov at 5:44 PM

This guide shows administrators how to set up Dismissal Reasons, and reviewers how to dismiss a risk with a reason and how to revert a dismissal.

Before you start: Dismissal Reasons is a Beta capability and is switched on for selected sites. It applies to risks flagged automatically. To learn what it does, see About Dismissal Reasons.

Step 1: Ask for Dismissal Reasons to Be Switched On

Dismissal Reasons is off by default during Beta. Ask your Customer Success representative or IntelligenceBank Support to switch it on for your site.

Step 2: Choose the Reasons for an Upload Field

An administrator sets this up for each multi-upload field that has Risk Review enabled, in the custom form builder.

  • Open the field in the form builder and tick Enable Dismiss Reasons in the multi-upload field.
  • Select Configure to choose how the reasons work for that field.

SettingWhat you can do
Disable a reasonSelect Disable on a reason to hide it from the list reviewers choose from. At least one reason must stay enabled.
Comment requiredChoose which reasons ask the reviewer for a comment. By default only Acceptable Risk asks for one, and you can change this for any reason, including Acceptable Risk. The quick dismiss reason cannot be a reason that needs a comment.
Quick dismiss reasonChoose the reason used by the one-click Dismiss button. It cannot be a reason that needs a comment.
OrderDrag the reasons into the order reviewers should see them.
Tip: If you tick Enable Dismiss Reasons and do not configure anything, all six reasons are available, quick dismiss uses Dismiss by default, and Acceptable Risk asks for a comment.

Step 3: Dismiss a Risk With a Reason

Open a file that has been risk reviewed in the IntelligenceBank Platform. Each risk flagged shows a Dismiss button with an arrow beside it.

  • Quick dismiss: select the left side of the button to dismiss with the default reason.
  • Choose a reason: select the arrow and pick a reason from the list.
  • Add a comment: if the reason needs one, a comment box opens. The comment appears as a reply under the risk.

Once dismissed, the risk shows the reason and who dismissed it. When you dismiss a group of risks, the chosen reason applies to every risk in the group, and any comment is saved on the first risk in the group.

Step 4: Revert a Dismissal

To bring a dismissed risk back, select the Dismiss button on it again. The risk returns to a normal risk comment.

Note: Uploading a new revision of a document clears its existing dismissals and reasons, so reviewers need to dismiss those risks again.
