If you would like to change the factor to include only specific values:

  1. Select the factor from the Selected Factors list.
  2. Click the SelectSpecFac.png button.
  3. The Specify Scoring Values window displays the possible values for the factor.
  4. Check the factors that you would like to include, and uncheck any factors that you would like to exclude from the analysis.
  5. Click the OK button.

If you select the item attribute name as a factor, the impact scoring tool will check for the existence of any data in the selected item attribute, regardless of what the value may be. In the example below (Figure 100), the impact scoring template does not specify the value of the Hazard – Priority item attribute. Therefore, any hazard that contained a value for Priority would be assigned a value of one.

If you select a specific value for an item attribute as a factor, the impact scoring will only include the item if the item attribute value matches the value of the selected factor. In the example below, the impact scoring template specifies that the Priority item attribute of the hazard should equal “High.” Therefore, the hazard illustrated in Figure 101 would not be included.
