Sycle Note: The option to customise the performance indicator will be available for our SYCLE customers as well. |
How do you configure this?
- To change this, please contact Camms Support at support@cammsgroup.com.
How will this work?

3. Enhance configurability in review frequency settings
The Review Frequency settings will now provide an option for an administrator to consider the actual date of the review or the last review due date, when the Next Review Date has arrived.
Previously, the 'Next Review Date' is populated based on the 'Actual Review Completion Date' [i.e. Current Date + Frequency] you complete a review for a given cycle, upon clicking the ‘Complete’ button. This feature will give you the additional option to calculate the 'Next Review Date' based on the 'Review Due Date' (instead of Current Date) via a setting [i.e. Reviewed Due Date + Frequency].
Sycle Note: The option of calculating the Next Review Date based on the Review Due Date will be available for our SYCLE customers as well. |
How do you configure this?
- The setting option next to ‘Next Review Date based on’ will have an option called 'Review Due Date' selected by default, at the top of the Review Frequency page (accessed via Camms.Risk > Menu > Framework > Risk Settings > Review Frequency).
- The previous option of calculating the 'Next Review Date' based on the 'Actual Completion Review Date' will be available to be selected too. If you wish to use the old calculation, an administrator will have to select this option manually.
Figure 3.1: Review due date setting
How will this work?
- If the default option ‘Review Due Date’ is left as enabled, the Next Review Date will populate as ‘Reviewed Due date (previous cycle’s Next Review Date) + Frequency’, upon completing a review cycle.
- If the option is changed to ‘Actual Review Completion Date’, the Next Review Date will populate as ‘Current Date + Frequency’, upon completing a review cycle, as how it behaved prior to this release.
Example: The Next Review Date (NRD) already populated is 20-May-2021 and Review Frequency is Monthly. You do the review on 05-Jul-21 and press Complete.
|
Note: By default the 'Review Due Date' option will be enabled after this release for existing and new clients. Administrators will be able to change this if required. This will impact when completing a review for existing records as well. Therefore, if you wish to go back to the previous behaviour, an administrator will need to change the option to ‘Actual Review Completion Date’. |
4. Introducing a heatmap within the risk assessment tabs
A heatmap will be displayed along with the Risk Rating in each of the assessment tabs.
Sycle Note: The heatmap displaying within risk assessments tabs will be available for our SYCLE customers as well. |
How do you configure this?

How will this work?
- The heatmap will be displayed alongside the Risk Assessment, as Likelihood and Consequence as the axis.
- The bubbles in the heatmap will denote the positioning of the Assessment Ratings of the risk.
