Permissions: Users must have the RACT Assessment Read Write or RACT Configure privilege to add and manage critical data and processes. 

Global-level critical data and processes are automatically added to study-level critical data and processes when a study is created. For studies that have been already created, critical data and processes need to be added manually or imported at the study level.

Study-level Critical Data and Critical Processes are accessed from study-specific landing pages. 

Critical data and processes should be defined for a study prior to creating risk statements and conducting an assessment. Defined critical data and processes are available for selection within a risk statement.

The actions for managing critical data and critical processes are the same. 

1. Select a study from the RACT Landing Page.
2. Click Critical Data / Critical Processes in the left navigation.
   

View the list of existing (if available) critical data / critical processes. Columns can be sorted, fixed, and filtered. The number in the blue badge indicates the number of rows in the filtered list. Use the buttons and icons at the top right to add or delete critical data / critical processes, navigate through pages (if there are multiple pages), import or export an Excel or CSV file, and identify whether filters are applied to any columns.
