Values

IDLabelSort OrderDescription
plannedPlanned0Treatment has been defined and scheduled but implementation has not started. Initial state in the treatment lifecycle.
ongoingOngoing1Treatment is actively being implemented by the responsible team. Work is in progress.
completedCompleted2Treatment has been fully implemented and verified. Terminal state representing closure of the treatment action.

​
Treatment Lifecycle

planned --> ongoing --> completed
The three states form a linear progression:
  1. Planned — Treatment decision is recorded, risk control work items may be created, but no implementation work has begun.
  2. Ongoing — Implementation of the mitigation measure is in progress (e.g., development of security controls, contractual negotiation for risk sharing).
  3. Completed — Treatment is fully implemented and verified through review or testing. Implies verification has occurred.

Field Binding

Field IDtreatmentStatus
Work Item TypetaraRecord
Enum IDtaraRecord-treatmentStatus
Field TypeEnum (single-select)
The treatmentStatus field is a custom field on the TARA Record work item type.

​
Risksheet Usage

The treatmentStatus column in the Risksheet Configuration:
  • Uses the taraRecord-treatmentStatus enum for value selection
  • Appears in the following views:
    • Overview
    • 4. Risk Treatment

​
Relationship to Treatment Choice

The treatmentStatus field tracks the implementation progress of the strategy defined in treatmentChoice. The two fields operate as a pair:
treatmentChoiceTypical treatmentStatus Progression
avoidingplanned > ongoing (design change in progress) > completed (threat source removed)
reducingplanned > ongoing (controls being developed) > completed (controls deployed and verified)
sharingplanned > ongoing (agreement negotiation) > completed (agreement signed)
retainingplanned > completed (formal acceptance documented)

​
Lucene Queries

type:taraRecord AND treatmentStatus:planned
type:taraRecord AND treatmentStatus:ongoing
type:taraRecord AND treatmentStatus:completed
These queries are useful for dashboard KPI cards and progress tracking:
  • Count of planned items indicates backlog of unstarted treatments
  • Count of ongoing items indicates active treatment work
  • Ratio of completed to total indicates treatment closure rate

​
Cell Decoration

The Risksheet may apply color coding to the treatmentStatus column following the standard Nextedy pattern:
StatusExpected ColorSemantic
plannedGrey/NeutralPending work
ongoingAmberIn-progress, attention needed
completedGreenClosed, no action required

​
Configuration Notes

  • No explicit default value is defined. It is unclear whether Polarion auto-selects planned (sortOrder 0) or leaves the field empty on TARA Record creation.
  • No workflow transition guards are defined in the enum file. Status changes may be freely editable by users unless constrained by a separate Polarion workflow configuration.
  • The completed status implies that verification has occurred. Projects should define whether a workflow transition step or approval gates this status change.
  • Dashboard and PowerSheet KPI cards may aggregate treatmentStatus counts to report treatment closure rates across the TARA module. The Lucene queries above enable these aggregations.
