## Exceptions list

Use the exception list to customize how leads are routed. Direct specific leads to certain participants based on factors like their expertise or language skills and ensures the right leads reach the most suitable participants.

To set up the exceptions list:

- **Identify the routing queue:** Determine the specific queue you want to apply the exceptions to.
- **Add participants:** Add the participants who should receive special routing.

To define the exceptions, use:

- **UserId:** Directly specify the participant’s ID.
- **Tag:** Use tags to categorize leads (French-speaking, availability).
- **TagOperator:** Define how tags should be used for routing (AND to require multiple tags, OR to allow any of the listed tags).

## Manage exception list from the motion policy

Once you have provided the exception list, round robin will allot participants considering this exception list.

1. Under the round robin section, click **Manage Exceptions,**a screen with skip and redo tabs display.
2. Click **add (+)** to add the participant to the list on the corresponding tab.
