Add Number Field to Project Object's Risk Attribute

The Category Type (RIM_CATEGORY_TYPE) lookup attribute is a static list lookup that contains a list of values. You manage these values in a different way than you do when adding values through the Lookup properties. Use the following procedure to add the number field to the Risk attribute.

The Risk attribute is a default Project object attribute that is calculated from a weighted average formula. Add the new number field to this attribute. Modify the Risk attribute's weighted average formula by adding the new number field.

The Attribute value is multiplied by the number you entered at Weighting to compute the weighted average for that row. Weighted values from all rows are added and their average is computed. The entries you make in the Weighting column considers the attribute to be more important than other attributes when calculating the weighted average. If you do not make any entries in the Weighting column, an arithmetic average is computed instead.

For example:

weighted ave = [(Risk * 4) + (Customer Satisfaction * 2) + (Alignment) * 1] /
