  2. Right-click on the widget and select Analysis.

    OR

  3. Click the widget's menu, and select Analysis.
  4. Select a structure, right click and select Properties from the menu. This opens the Properties pane on the right.

    An Analysis page opens showing the entity calculation structure. All entities are shown with a graphical indication of their severities.

    The roll-up calculation method and the reason for the contract party's red severity can be immediately deducted. The two metrics in one service have red severity and because the worst case roll-up method is used, the contract party's severity is red.

  5. Use the toolbar at the top of the page to perform:
