Configuration Hierarchy

Nextedy RISKSHEET uses a three-tier configuration hierarchy: diagram Each tier overrides settings from the tier below it, allowing you to:
  • Set global defaults via Project Administration > Configuration Properties
  • Create template-specific overrides by attaching risksheet.json to template documents
  • Apply document-specific customizations by attaching risksheet.json directly to work documents
Document-level configuration takes highest priority. If you modify global settings and changes don’t appear, check if document-specific configuration is overriding them. Use the Configuration Editor’s template override wizard to manage inheritance.

Configuration Editor

Starting with version 25.5.0, the Configuration Editor opens in a new tab with:
  • YAML syntax highlighting and error detection
  • Side-by-side view of Risksheet and configuration
  • Configuration history tracking
  • Template override wizard for inheritance management
  • Keyboard shortcut support
  • Download and upload capabilities
Access via: Menu > Configuration > Edit Risksheet Configuration…
Use the Configuration Editor’s template override wizard to visualize which settings come from templates versus document-specific overrides. This helps troubleshoot unexpected configuration values.
