Tag order based on the fraud/risk level of the order
Shopify’s fraud analysis tools can help Merchants to identify orders that could be fraudulent. Fulfilling high-risk orders can result in a higher number of chargebacks and that can result in disabling payment processing and removal from Shopify Payments.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to see the risk level of an order from the order listing view unless you filter your order listing view by Risk level using the available filters:
Our Fraud/risk level of the order criteria can therefore help Merchants to see the risk level (high, medium, low) at a glance by applying the risk level as a tag on the order, which can then be seen in the order listing view. This saves Merchants tie from having to click through into each order to check the fraud/risk level.

Saving and naming your workflow
It's worth giving your workflow a name to help you identify it at a later date, so add a workflow name in the New Workflow section, check the summary of your workflow and if happy, either Test your Workflow against an existing order or hit Save Workflow:
Any order marked as a high risk of fraud will now be tagged with the fixed tag of your choice.
