## Page Details

The page is broken up into several sections for ease of viewing.

### Breakdown

This handy chart shows you the status of the standards included in the Drift Management template.

### Filters

You can filter the deviations shown on the page by selecting one of the following:

* **Select Drift Template**: Adjust which drift template you are reviewing. This also includes a quick link to edit the selected template. Just click the pencil icon.
* **Search deviations**: Show only those deviations that match your search term.
* **Status**: Adjust the display for "All Deviations", "Current Deviations", "Accepted", "Customer Specific", "Denied", or "Compliant".
* **Sort by**: This will allow you to change the sort from the default of "Name" to "Status" or "Category".

### New Deviations

This section has an action button at the top when multiple deviations are checked:

| Action       | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |

## Card Actions

### New Deviations

<table><thead><tr><th>Action</th><th>Description</th><th data-type="checkbox">Bulk Action Available</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Accept Deviation — Customer Specific</td><td>Mmarks the deviation as intentional and unique to this tenant. Counts as compliant in the alignment score. Use when the tenant legitimately differs from the template by design.</td><td>true</td></tr><tr><td>Accept Deviation</td><td>Acknowledges the deviation as known/approved. Also counts as compliant in the alignment score. Use when you've reviewed it and it's fine as-is, but it's not a customer-specific exception.</td><td>true</td></tr><tr><td>Deny Deviation - Remediate to align with template</td><td>Queues a remediation job to bring the tenant back into alignment with the template. Includes the option to permanently deny the drift which will auto remediate future occurrences.</td><td>true</td></tr><tr><td>Deny Deviation — Delete Policy</td><td>Queues a deletion of the rogue policy.</td><td>true</td></tr><tr><td>Remove Drift Customization</td><td>Only available as a bulk action, this will remove all customization from drift management and reset to comparing to the standard</td><td>true</td></tr></tbody></table>

### Already-Accepted Deviations

<table><thead><tr><th></th><th></th><th data-type="checkbox">Bulk Action Available</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Deny — Delete Policy</td><td>Reverses the acceptance and queues a deletion of the rogue policy.</td><td>false</td></tr><tr><td>Deny — Remediate to align with template</td><td>Reverses acceptance and queues a remediation job to bring the tenant back into alignment with the template. Includes the option to permanently deny the drift which will auto remediate future occurrences.</td><td>false</td></tr><tr><td>Accept — Customer Specific</td><td>Re-categorizes from generic accepted to a customer specific deviation.</td><td>false</td></tr></tbody></table>
