Matrix - a field type that can be used to calculate the "Risk" of a certain task using Severity and Probability to output a Risk rating.
Note: A Matrix is mostly used in a table, so we will start by creating a table.
Steps | Build a form | Matrix
1. Click on the New Group (a group must be added before adding a table field).
2. Click “New Field +”.
3. Select the "Specialty" tab.
4. Select the "Table" option.
5. Name your table.
6. Select the "Table" tab.
7. Add your column types (do not type a custom column name here, naming is done after adding the types).
8. Once the table is created, click on the Pencil icon beside the Matrix field.
9. Rename your matrix field to Risk Matrix for example.
10. Click on the Matrix Tab, under Matrix results, put in your Risk Rating or other desired output (Low, Medium, High).
Additional Notes:
You can add more results depending on the matrix you use.
Descriptions can be used to add additional content to the result.
Example: Low - work may continue, Medium - needs to consult supervisor, High - cease work.
The Color fields use HTML color codes to determine the color of your results: Low - green - 008000, Medium - yellow - FFFF00, High - red - FF0000.
11. We will use this Matrix as our reference.
12. For Columns, put Probability and for Rows, put Severity.
13. All of the inside drop downs need to be the "High, Medium, Low" shown by the colors and click Done.
