Managing Computation Rules
To access computation rules used within a Business Impact Analysis:
In the navigation menu, select Administration > Business Continuity > Computation Rules.Computation rules help implement the algorithm that computes:
• the RTO (Recovery Time Objective)
• the business impact
Computation rules are of several types and can be accessed via a drop-down list:
• Answer score computation rule
• RTO computation rule
• Business impact computation rule
Colors used to display the global business impact are defined here.You may create your own rules within each category. A computation rule is supplied by default within each category.
Answer score computation rule
This rule is used to compute the score of each answer within a Business Impact Analysis (BIA).
= Weight of the impact type * Weight of the impact type value
RTO computation rule
This rule is used to compute the RTO (Recovery Time Objective) within the framework of a BIA.
Business impact computation rule
This rule is used to compute business impact within the framework of a BIA.
Business Impact Values
You can specify (connect) the business impact values to be used in the computation rule.
These values are used when computing the final value of a Business Impact Analysis (BIA).
For more details on BIA results, see View Computed Business Impact.To define business impact values and corresponding colors:
In the navigation menu, select Administration > Business Activity > Business Impact Values.
