How to Copy and Delete a Scale

This section provides orientation on how to create a copy of a scale. Note that only scales used in the ERM solution can be copied, and the copies can be renamed, edited, and deleted. These scales will be available in the ERM solution to be used when viewing a risk matrix. The default scale will be used if an enterprise risk query is saved in risk matrix format using a scale that has been deleted from the system.
