Organisation List Management
Organisation List Management lets Owners customise the dropdown lists used throughout Lydaro — risk statuses, categories, response types, probability labels, impact labels, and more. Lists are pre-populated with Lydaro's standard starting values and can be renamed, reordered, extended, or deactivated to match your organisation's risk framework. Changes take effect immediately across all projects.
Accessing list management
Go to Settings in the sidebar, then Organisation settings. The list management section shows all configurable lists for your organisation.
You need Owner role to manage lists.
What can be customised
| List | Used for |
|---|---|
| Risk statuses | The lifecycle stages a risk moves through |
| Risk categories | How risks are classified |
| Probability levels | The likelihood scale for risk assessment |
| Impact levels | The severity scale for risk assessment |
| Response strategies | The treatment types available for risk responses |
| Issue types | Classification of issues by type |
| Issue priorities | Priority levels for issues |
| Issue cause categories | Cause categories for issue root cause analysis |
| Issue impact categories | Impact classification for issues |
| Assumption categories | Classification of assumptions |
| Assumption statuses | The lifecycle stages for assumptions |
| Document types | Classification of uploaded project documents |
Managing list items
For each list you can:
- Add items — add new values specific to your organisation's framework
- Rename items — change the label without affecting existing data (risks and issues reference items by internal ID, not by label text)
- Reorder items — change the display order in dropdowns
- Deactivate items — hide an item from future use without deleting it; existing data using that item is preserved
Setting up a list for the first time
If a list shows Set up defaults, click it to add Lydaro's standard starting values for that list only. Your other lists are not affected. You can then customise from there.
Risk status labels
The default risk status labels seeded for new organisations are:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Draft | Being written; not yet active |
| Active | Confirmed and being tracked |
| Mitigated | Response in place |
| Realized | The risk event has occurred |
| Closed | No longer active |
These labels are starting defaults. You can rename, reorder, add, or deactivate them to match your organisation's terminology.
Note: Renaming a status label (for example, changing "Active" to "Identified") does not affect existing risks. Risks continue to use the same underlying status — only the displayed label changes.
