Add Pre-Approved Violations

For each universe, you can set violations as pre-approved. These pre-approved violations are ignored (hidden) or unavailable in compliance and pattern check Audit Cards.

Note: You need administrator-level rights in the Portal to perform this procedure.

Follow these steps:

1. In the Client Tools, connect to the CA GovernanceMinder server.
2. Open the Audit Card that contains violations that you want to pre-approve.

   Note: A violation must be saved to the database before you set it as pre-approved.

3. (Optional) Provide an expiration date or a comment:
   1. Right-click the violation and select Edit.
   2. To set an expiration date, select the Expiration Date option and provide a date.
   3. To provide a reason for the pre-approval, go to the Pre-Approve comment field and enter text.
   4. Click OK.
4. Right-click the violation that you want to pre-approve and select Always Approve this Violation.

   Note: The Client Tools must connect to the CA GovernanceMinder Portal rather than the Microsoft SQL Server directly to see this option.

5. Verify that the violation appears in the Audit Card titled universe_name Pre-Approved Violations.
