Default risk properties are automatically saved in the system registry and can be used for all projects. You may use Restore Default button to overwrite changes in default risk properties you made with standard set of risk properties

If you create custom risk properties in RiskyProject 3.2 and earlier, they will not automatically transfer to a newer version of RiskyProject. You will have to re-enter these defaults risk properties in newer version of RiskyProject. However, values associated with these risk properties are saved in the file.

For example, if you created a custom risk property “Severity Level” in RiskyProject 3.2 and, used it in a project: assigned the value “High” to the “Severity Level” property. When you open this project in RiskyProject 4.2, you would not be able to see the property “Severity Level” or the value “High”.

To view this property and value, you must:

1.  Open the Default Risk Properties dialog box in RiskyProject 4.2 or higher.
2.  Define the property “Severity Level”.
3.  Open project file created in RiskyProject 3.2

After this, you will be able to see this property and values associated with these properties for all risks.
