displayed when you are creating policy exceptions.

-
When defining the Policy Exception
Integration Registry, click the lock icon on the Policy
categories field.
-
In the Policy categories form, click New.
-
Enter the name and description of the category you want to define.
-
Repeat for any other categories you want to define.
-
When you have finished defining categories, click the lock icon again. When you
save the registry, the policy categories you defined are available on the Policy
form for filtering policies.
Assume you defined registry entries for the Incident and Problem applications and
selected Incident [incident] and Problem [problem] as the policy exception target
tables. Also assume you created policy categories of incident
and problem.
You have defined five policies and they are tagged as follows.
- Policy 1 is tagged incident.
- Policy 2 is tagged incident and
VR.
- Policy 3 is tagged VR.
- Policy 4 is tagged Problem.
- Policy 5 is untagged
You open the Problem form and click the Request Policy
Exception button. You are prompted to enter specific details about
the exception (for example, the policy, control objective, and so forth).
When you click the search icon in the Policy field, only
Policy 1, Policy 2, and Policy 4 appear. If you select one of the three policies and
click the search icon on the Control objective field, only
control objectives related with that policy appear.
If none of your policies are tagged, all 5 appear. If you have only one policy
tagged, that policy appears in the Policy field by default.
