The Rating custom attribute – Ethixbase360

Overview

Effective from version 3.0 of the EB360 platform users can now setup a new custom attribute of type 'Rating'. This new custom attribute type allows a score like attribute that has visual icons in the tables and views across the platform as well as its numeric value.

It represents the start of the automation framework that will be added over the course of the 3.X rollout of EB360.

The exact application of the Rating attributes will be down to the individuals who manage their platforms, but it is designed to allow you to add Risk like fields that model your own processes and requirements.

You can add multiple Rating attributes if you need to.

Adding a new Rating custom attribute

Like all custom attributes you can add a new Rating custom attribute via the Platform Settings -> Custom attribute section of the side bar, an example is shown below

Click on the Add button at the top of the custom attribute list to add a new one

Select the 'Rating' type, and then one of the sub types which are as follows:

ethiXbase Risk scale, this consists of Undefined (0), Low (1), Moderate (2), High (3), Do not Engage (4), making it equivalent to the 'My Risk rating scale'. The numeric equivalents are shown in brackets above.
4 point scale, which is very traditional Undefined (0), Low (1), Moderate (2), High (3). The numeric equivalents are shown in brackets.
11 point scale, which is numeric 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
10 point scale, which is numeric 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
6 Point scale, this consists of Undefined (0), None (1), Low (2), Moderate (3), High (4), Critical (5)
8 point scale, this consists of Undefined (0), None (1), Very Low (2), Low (3), Moderate (4), High (5), Very high(6), Critical (7)
21 point scale, which is numeric 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20
Letter rating scale, AAA, AA, A, BBB, BB, B, CCC, CC, C, D

Note that once the Rating custom attribute has been used (set on 1 or more Third parties), you will not be able to edit the scale.

Setting the Custom Attribute

Once you have added the custom attribute when you onboard a Third Party, or when you edit its configuration you can set the rating like any other custom attribute, an example is shown below (where 'Risk Level' was the name given to the new Rating custom attribute in this case.

Viewing the Rating

The rating is displayed in a number of places in the platform

In the Risk Summary view in the bottom right, an example is shown below in the bottom right of the screen shot, where in this case a 4-point scale was used and the rating set to Moderate.
