Risk Severities Import
Risk Severities can be imported into R-Service using UTF-8 or UTF-16LE encoded comma-separated values (CSV) or tab-separated values (TSV) files.
Detailed information about the data that can be specified in the columns of a Risk Severities import file can be found in Risk Severities API - Fields.

Updating Existing Risk Severities
Apart from specifying the ID
or the Source
and Source ID
columns to find an existing record, R-Service is also able to match existing records using the Reference
value.
This means that when an ID
, Source
and Source ID
are not provided in the import file, and the given Reference
value matches one of the Risk Serverities in the current Account, all the fields of that risk severity will be overwritten with the values provided in this import file. If the Source
and Source ID
columns are present in the import file, these fields will be cleared in the risk severity that matches the given Reference
value.
