Choose a project to work with on the Risks page

You can work with any open project on the Risks page; however, you can only work with one project at any given time. When you open multiple projects in the Projects section, all open projects you have rights to access are listed in the Select Project box, which is located at the top right of the page.

To work with a project, choose an open project from the list. Any action you perform, and all data that appears on the page, applies to the selected project only.

Note: The Select Project field does not appear when only one project is open in the Projects section.
