Add exceptions to a rule
Define the conditions that should be exempt from the rules. An exception is part of a rule and checked only when its rule is triggered.
The exceptions and rules are tightly linked.
- When there is a transaction, rules are evaluated.
- If a rule is matched, its exception is evaluated, if any.
- If the exception is matched, the exception action is taken.
- Select a policy from the policy view to open the Policy Editor.
- If the policy has some rules added previously, and you want to add the exceptions to any of them:
- Click the edit icon available on the rules widget as shown below rule editor.
- Click the Add button to open the Create Exception widget as shown below:
