# How to change the risk appetite

Changing the risk appetite will influence the hits you will get in Pascal. Pascal will only show you hits with a risk that is equal to or higher than your risk appetite. The risk appetites can be Very low, Low, Moderate, High, and Very high.

 

1. Click on your initials in the top right corner.
2. Select **Settings** in the menu.
3. Navigate to the **Risk Classification** page in the **Screening** section. The Risk appetite can be changed in the **Risk** section.
4. Select which risk appetite you would like to use.
5. Click **Save** at the top of the **Risk** card.
