Exceptions
Exceptions prevent certain systems from ever getting audited, even if they fall within a scope. When a system connects to the network, the server software checks all scopes to see if the system falls within one. If it does, the server software then checks all exceptions to see if the system is listed in an exception. If it is, the system does not get audited.
To exclude the devices from an audit, you must add them to the Exceptions list through the Exceptions table. From the table you can Add, Edit or Delete the Exception.
