Define an exception?

Most rules have exceptions. To add an exception to a rule:

Steps

  1. In the Data Security module of the Security Manager, go to the Main > Policy Management > DLP PoliciesorDiscovery Policies > Manage Policies page.
  2. Expand a policy’s tree view, so that its rules are displayed.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • Click a rule and select Add > Exception from the drop-down menu.
    • Highlight a rule and select Add > Exception from the toolbar.
    • Click an exception and select Add > Exception Above or Exception Below. This inserts the exception in an order of priority relative to others.
  4. The exception begins empty—select the fields to edit. Unedited fields retain the same data as the rule.
