# Adding RIDAC records for a project

Create a risk record for your project that you can convert to other records during the project life cycle. Track issues and avoid copying relevant details in the related records.

As a project progresses through the project life cycle, a risk might result in an issue, or a new issue might occur. After you have a risk record, you can convert that record into related records such as issues, actions, or decisions. The conversion and association of records helps you analyze and identify patterns, trends, and probable resolution for planning future projects.

Plan and manage all RIDAC records on a single RIDAC page in Project Workspace. This page enables you to create, edit, convert, and associate RIDAC records on a central location. Navigate to the RIDAC page or Classic Project Workspace from Project Workspace interface.

Consider the following points before converting or associating RIDAC records in Project Workspace:

-   You can convert one record to another only in the RIDAC sequence. For example, you can convert a risk to an issue, decision, action, or request change. You can’t convert an issue to a risk or a decision to an issue. The following diagram illustrates the RIDAC process flow. \[Omitted image "ridac\_workflow.png"\] Alt text: RIDAC process flow
-   You can convert one record into multiple RIDAC records. For example, you can create multiple issue records from one risk record.

    For converting RIDAC records in Classic Project Workspace, see [Convert RIDAC records for a project](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/project-management/convert-ridac-for-project.md). For converting RIDAC records in Project Workspace, see [Convert one RIDAC record to another for a project in Project Workspace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/project-workspace/convert-ridac-project-workspace.md).

-   You can associate one record with multiple different records. For example, you can link one issue record to multiple different risk, decision, action, or request change records.

    For associating RIDAC records in Classic Project Workspace, see [Associate existing RIDAC records for a project](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/project-management/reassociate-ridac-project.md). For associating RIDAC records in Project Workspace, see [Associate existing RIDAC records for a project in Project Workspace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/project-workspace/associate-ridac-project-workspace.md).
