- Locate the violation in the Scheduled Exclusion list
- Select the violation or use the multi checkbox to select all violations you want to update
- Then click the Manage button and select the Update Scheduled Exclusions option:
- A dialog box will be displayed enabling you to edit the comment where necessary:

| Note |

| Note that using the Exclude feature will affect grades when a new snapshot is generated or when a snapshot is consolidated. This is because the violations that are excluded will not be included in the new results. This impact will be seen in the Health Dashboard. |
Two sub-pages are available in the Exclusion tab:
- Active Exclusions > Shows violations that have been added to the Exclusion list and a subsequent full snapshot or consolidation action has been processed therefore the violations are not part of the results of the current snapshot - i.e. they are actively excluded.
- Scheduled Exclusions > Shows violations that have been added to the Exclusion list and no full snapshot or consolidation action has been processed yet therefore the violations still form part of the results of the current snapshot. When a full snapshot or consolidation action is processed, exclusions in this list will move to the Active Exclusions page.
You can swap between the two sub-pages using the drop down menu:
