Defining and Changing Exceptions  

Use

In exception reporting, you select and highlight objects that are in some way different or critical. Results that fall outside the set of predetermined threshold values (exceptions) are highlighted in color or marked with symbols. This enables you to identify immediately any results that deviate from the expected results.

Exception reporting allows you to determine the objects that are critical for a query in your Web application.
