# Exceptions

You can find these options in the [automation menu](https://rs002tra.balbix.net/app/d3/automation).

### Creating Exceptions

**What You Can Do Here**

- Create exception handling for vulnerabilities, applications, and findings.
- Scope exceptions by applying custom or existing filters.
- Schedule exception automations based on evaluation cycles or specific dates.
- Customize exception details, including names, reasons, and mitigation comments.
- Set expiration timelines for automated exceptions.
- Automatically activate exception handling upon creation.

You can also see the walkthrough [in this link](https://scribehow.com/shared/Create_an_Exception_Automation__XkprnC63Q4SQizofjk6m4A?referrer=search)

Once you have created exceptions, you can see them in the [exceptions menu](https://rs002tra.balbix.net/app/d3/exposure-management/exceptions).

> [!WARNING]
> Note: To control how exception scope behaves over time, choose the appropriate method of exception creation. If the goal is to allow the exception to automatically apply to additional assets or findings as they are discovered (a "continuous exception"), use exception automation. This enables dynamic scope expansion based on predefined criteria. If instead the exception should apply only to a fixed set of assets or findings at the time of creation, and not include any future items, then the exception must be created manually within the Asset Vulnerabilities or AppSec Findings view.

### Viewing Exceptions

**What You Can Do Here**

- View the total number of exceptions.
- See exceptions categorized by reason.
- Analyze the count of exception instances.
- Visualize exceptions grouped by exposure.
- Click on an exception name to view its details.
- Monitor real-time updates of exposure instances when clicked.
- Access detailed information for each exception.
- Apply filters to search for specific exceptions.
- Customize the table columns to adjust the view.

### Creating Exceptions Directly in Asset Vulnerabilities and in Appsec Findings

You can also create an exception by selecting assets in the [Asset Vulnerabilities](https://rs002tra.balbix.net/app/d3/exposure-management/assets) menu, and also in the [Appsec Findings](https://rs002tra.balbix.net/app/d3/exposure-management/apps) menu.

### Reviewing Vulnerability Instances Exceptions

You can also review the exceptions applied to specific vulnerability instances, and add an “Exceptions” column to the table, in the [Asset Vulnerabilities](https://rs002tra.balbix.net/app/d3/exposure-management/assets?sub-view=instance) menu and the [All Appsec Findings](https://rs002tra.balbix.net/app/d3/exposure-management/apps?sub-view=instance) menu.

> [!WARNING]
> Note: You need to select the Vulnerability Instances or Finding Instances tab to be able to see the Exception in the popup window.
