Overriding policy violations

If a rule was configured to allow manual overrides of violations, then users with the appropriate role can override a disapproved component or file in that project.

To override a violation:

1. On the BOM page using the List view, click the Policy Violation icon () of the component you wish to override. The Policy Violations dialog box appears.

   
   
   

2. Depending on whether there is one or more policy violation:

   • For one policy violation, click Override. Optionally, enter a comment and click Confirm.

     If you entered a comment, it appears, along with the username of the user who overrode the policy violation, in the Policy Violations dialog box.

     If you enter a date, the override will expire at that date. When it expires it will return to a violation state.

   • For multiple policy violations:

     • Click Override All to override all policy violations. The Policy Violations dialog box displays the username of the user who overrode the policy rule.

       You cannot enter a comment or date when using the Override All feature.

     • Click Override for each policy violation you want to override. Optionally, enter a comment and click Confirm.

       If you entered a comment, it appears, along with the username of the user who overrode the policy violation, in the Policy Violations dialog box.

3. Click Close.

   The Policy Violation Override icon () appears next to the component that you overrode if all policy violations were overridden. If a component has multiple policy violations and not all are overridden, then the Policy Violation icon () will still appear.
