How to customize the Risk Matrix to support 5 color levels instead of 3?

[rafa117]

Hi everyone,

I am currently working on a risk analysis project using MONARC. My organization (and our CISO) requires a risk matrix with 5 distinct color levels (e.g., Very Low, Low, Medium, High, Critical) to align with our internal reporting standards.

Currently, the tool seems to default to 3 colors (Green, Orange, Red) across the 5x5 matrix.

I’ve been exploring the source code and noticed that the logic seems to be handled within the ng_anr module (specifically in AnrLayoutCtrl.js and _anr.evalscales.html).

My questions are:

Is there a built-in way (via configuration or database) to define 5 color thresholds?

If not, can someone point me to the specific CSS classes or Angular logic that I should override to implement a 5-color scale?

Has anyone successfully implemented a custom color scheme without breaking the core updates?

Any guidance or documentation on customizing the visual risk scales would be greatly appreciated!

Best regards,

Unfortunately it's not possible to configure the multiple colouring via the config files or DB settings.
It will also not be a trivial change for the ng_anr, ng_client repositories (has to be investigated to have more concrete answer on the required changes and solution).
We have plans to create a flexible way to be able to change that (#265) and also add a possibility to have some additional criteria of the risk factors impact.

Hi Ruslan,

Thank you very much for the answer.

It's great to know that there are plans to make this more flexible in the future. I will keep an eye on that update.

Best regards,
