Editing the Risk Cube Work Item

Is there a way to tailor RTC to represent this cube in a manner consistent with my customer? I tried editing it, but only found that I could edit what is represented or not represented. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

the parts you can easily modify are e.g. the enumerations that the risk work item type uses as the sides of the square: probability and impact (in %).

Just open the project area in Eclipse, go to process configuration tab.
If you look under project configuration --> Configuration Data --> Work Items --> Types and Attributes, highlight "risk" in the work item types, you will see the fields and the enumerations that these fields use.
Attribute Impact uses e.g. the enumeration impact.
Going to project configuration --> Configuration Data --> Work Items --> Enumerations you can actually modify this enumeration.

However, to actually modify the underlying risk matrix presentation, you'd have to edit the extension or create a new one. Looking in the --> Editor Presentations and choosing "com.ibm.team.workitem.editor.risk", if you look at the Risk Matrix entry in the Details tab, you will find it uses "com.ibm.team.tpt.presentation.risk.matrix".

You will have to code your own version of this, deploy it and point the presentation of your risk work items towards the custom extension you deployed by changing the entry in the Editor Presentations as mentioned above.

This being a government standard for your government, chances are it will be a much welcomed and reusable custom extension. You might get quicker results writing it involving your local IBM / jazz tekkies

Best success,
Arne

 Has anyone done this?  I would like to be able to do a similar customization but am unfamiliar with creating my own Presentation.

I also would like to know if anyone else has done this.  I would like more information on how to create a custom extension.
