# Set default options for Exception rules in Inspection Policy elements

The Continue action allows you to set default values for some settings in Exception rules to avoid defining the same settings for several rules individually.

You might want to set default settings for some Exception rules to avoid defining the same settings for several rules individually. The Continue action in Exception rules is used to set such default options in the same general way as in the Access rules. In Exception rules, all settings in the Action Options and the Logging cell can be set using Continue rules. However, the Rules tree on the Inspection tab ignores any logging options set with Continue rules. In the Rules tree, the rules either inherit the logging settings from a higher level in the tree or define a specific logging option as an override.
