Set up pillars and entity types from Workspace UI
Set up the pillars and entity types from the Operational Resilience Workspace UI. You must activate the pillars first and then activate the entity types. If you prefer the classic experience, you can navigate to the module using the Admin setup in the Core UI.
Before you begin
Role required: sn_oper_res.admin, sn_oper_res.manager
Procedure
Navigate to Workspaces > Operational Resilience Workspace and select SetupPillars from the List view.
The list of pillars available with the base system are shown in the example. All pillars are shipped in the inactive state.
Pillars view.
For information on the default and supporting pillars, refer to the following table.
| Total pillars | Default pillars | Supporting pillars |
|---|---|---|
| Here are the available pillars: - Application Services - Business Services - Data - Facilities - Processes - People - Services - Service Offerings - Suppliers - Technology | The default pillars are listed: - Business Services - Processes - Services - Service Offerings | The supporting pillars are listed: - Application Services - Data - Facilities - People - Suppliers - Technology |
Beginning with Operational Resilience, Release 21.x.x, the \[sn\_grc\_choice\] table includes an **Active** field. The pillars are shipped in an inactive state by default. You must activate the pillars from the list view before activating the entity types, as the entity types depend on the pillars. You can activate entity types only after activating the pillars.
Activate the pillars first by opening the desired GRC Choice pillar records.
Note: Verify that you are editing this record in the GRC: Operational Resilience application. Switch scope in the UI if necessary so that you can activate the pillars.
Select the pillar that you want to activate.
For more information on the fields in the form, see GRC Choices form.
