Calculating and selecting impacts for targets of a task

At any time, you can calculate the impacts of an individual implementation task. For example, you might want to calculate impacts of a task for which you have added additional targets or removed targets, modified the outage values, or made some other modification. After you calculate the task impacts, you can select one or more of the impacts to record them as impacts for the task.

About this task

When you perform this operation, the impact analysis engine performs the same calculations that it performs during a workflow-driven or manually invoked impact analysis. In this operation, the calculations are performed only for the selected task.

To calculate and select implementation task impacts, perform the following steps:

Procedure

  1. With the Change open in the Changes application, open the Impacts tab, and open the Manage Impacts tab.
  2. In the Implementation Tasks for Change section, select a task, and click Impacts for All Targets of Selected Task to calculate all of the target impacts for the task. The Selecting Impacts for Targets in a Task dialog opens. This dialog is populated with the resulting impacts.
  3. In the Selecting Impacts for Targets in a Task dialog, do one of the following:
    • Open the Calculated tab to select impacts that were calculated using the impact assessment rules.
    • Open the Historical tab to select impacts based on historically identified impacts. Open the CI Details tab to select CI impacts; open the Assets tab to select Assets impacts.
  4. Click OK to save the selected impacts to the selected task. The identified impacts are displayed in the Impacts for Task section.
