Instructions for preparing Final Reports.
In Phase 4, there are many different reports that can be generated. To facilitate the assembly of these smaller specialized reports into a single "Final Report" for submission to management, provision is made to attach the name of each selected report file (each is a .WRI file) to a list that is made available to the analyst at the end of the reporting phase, Phase 4.
A couple of points must be kept in mind when the final report is assembled; it is assumed that a word processor will be used to prepare the Final Report and the following are tasks and ideas that are within the purview of most word processors:
1. On the parameter screen in Phase 1, you indicated that the sensitivity level of the system being analyzed is 1. Because reports that deal with a system must bear markings that indicated that the report is of a similar level of sensitivity, you are warned that the word processor used in the assembly process must also be used to indicate, as both Headers and Footers, this level of sensitivity on EVERY page;
2.There is no provision in the RiskWatch system for the title page or pages that come before paragraphs, sections, or diagrams. The analyst wishing these must provide them himself using the facilities of the word processor employed;
3.The ordering of sections is left to the discretion of the analyst - some people prefer to have the Executive Summary as the very first section, even preceding the Table of Contents, while others may wish to
have their Table of Contents immediately following the Cover page;
4.Because of the strong possibility that different enterprises will opt to assemble different pieces (sub-reports) into their respective Final Reports, the Table of Contents for the Final Report is left to the analyst, using the power of a modern word processor.
5.In the text provided by RiskWatch as part of the reports that embody the results of the analysis and the initial data, there are several sections that are enclosed in triple square brackets (that is, [[[ and
]]] ). All text that is between these braces is given SOLELY as a guide to suggested text to surround the numbers that form the basis of the reports. The text serves no other purpose. Please replace this text with
other text that is more appropriate to your enterprise.
