RedButton
RedButton is how you flag and track risks in Radial, either across a whole project or on an individual item.
Raising a flag
Section titled “Raising a flag”Add a RedButton flag at the project level or on a specific item. For each flag you set:
- Severity: Critical, High, Medium, or Low.
- Resolution status: Open, In Progress, or Closed.
You can record multiple risks, each with its own severity and status, and update them as the situation changes.
The alert modal
Section titled “The alert modal”Anyone opening a project that has active RedButton flags (Open or In Progress) sees an alert modal straight away. This makes sure risks are visible to the whole team. They can’t be quietly buried in a project that looks otherwise healthy.
Risk-flagged items also show a red border on the WorkMAP™ Summary and on Canvas View cards, so risk is visible at a glance wherever you’re looking.
Why it matters for evidence
Section titled “Why it matters for evidence”RedButton isn’t only a live risk tool. It’s part of the record. Documenting the risks identified on a project, and how they were managed, adds depth to the verified evidence your team builds. It shows not just that work was done, but that it was done with proper judgement about what could go wrong.
