When you create an application search for multiple departments, Compliance Accelerator does not search the exception employees in those departments unless you explicitly instruct it to do so. For an alternative way to search an exception's items, follow the steps below.
To search the items of an exception employee
Click the Departments tab in the Compliance Accelerator client.
In the Departments pane at the left, check the filter option Show Exceptions.
Click the name of the exception employee whose items you want to search.
Create a new search and accept the results in the normal way.
Compliance Accelerator stores the accepted results in the review set for the exception. This review set is separate from the review set for the rest of the department employees. Only those exception reviewers who are assigned to the exception can access it.
