# Risks

## Overview

Identify your blockers faster & get alerted by setting up risks on Haystack. 

## Configure

To configure risks in team settings, go to **team settings -> issue risks** or **team settings -> PR risks.**

## Basics

### **Issue risks**

Haystack provides two types of Issue risks:

1. **Stuck**\
   When issue takes too much time in status, Issue is considered as "stuck" when it stays too much time in particular status category or status. You can set your own rules when issue should be considered as "Stuck".
2. **Blocked**\
   Issue is considered as "Blocked" when it is marked in Jira as blocked by another issue. In order to mark issue as blocked in Jira, you need to [link issue](https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/link-issues/) and select "is blocked by" link type.

### **PR risks**

In PR risks, you will find potential risks you can configure for your pull requests. You may turn these on/off and set your threshold heres

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.usehaystack.io/setup/teams/risks.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
