  • Impact assessments are only available for 7 days. Remember to download a copy of the impact assessment for future reference. We recommend downloading both views (by user and by object).

  • If you click on the Rerun button and choose not to change any of the impact assessment criteria, the current impact assessment will be over-written. If you make and changes (e.g. usage period), then a new impact assessment will be generated.

Multi-Impact Assessments

When you have a change or incident that impacts multiple data assets, there is the option to run an impact assessment on multiple items at the same time.

To run a Multi-Impact Assessment you need to first add items to your Data Cart

After all the data items have been added to your Data Cart, click on the Impact Assessment option under Data Apps

...

Key things to note that are unique to a Multi-Impact Assessment

  • The more items you select the longer the impact assessment will take

  • There is currently a max limit of 25 items that can be included in one assessment.

  • When you run the impact assessment there is the option to select ‘Clear Cart’. This option is useful when you have more than 25 items in your Data Cart. After clearing your data cart of the data items selected for this impact assessment, you can then easily run a subsequent assessment on the next batch of items.
