Change the time limits of criticity levels

Here, you can change the time limits for levels (1 is the less critical, 4 is the most critical) of criticity, e.g on the screenshot below :
- Level 1 : The license expires between 60 and 72 months from today
- Level 2 : The license expires between 36 and 59 months from today
- Level 3 : The license expires between 12 and 35 months from today
- Level 4 : The license expires between 0 and 11 months from today

Change the risk matrix

You can choose in each cell what is the level of risk (High, Medium, Low) for each combination :

select APM

For example, in this screenshot, you can see that :
- An app in a "Critical" domain that has a product with a time limit criticity of "Level 1" : "High" risk
- An app in a "Non Critical" domain that has a product with a time limit criticity of "Level 2" : "Medium" risk
- An app in a "Neutral" domain that has a product with a time limit criticity of "Level 3" : "Low" risk

Once, it's done, you can save the changes by clicking on "Save" button.

You will be able to see the results of all the changes you've done on the "Obsolescence Management" page in the "Obsolescence Risk" column in the "Applications" table here.
