# How to set a vulnerability exclusion

Exclusions are a way to ignore vulnerabilities so they would not affect the scores. Although this is a very useful feature it is highly recommended to handle it with extra care.

Users can set a vulnerability exclusion from the [Report page](https://docs.meterian.io/the-meterian-webapp/advanced-functionalities/set-exclusion/set-exclusions-report-page), the [Meterian Dashboard](https://docs.meterian.io/the-meterian-webapp/advanced-functionalities/set-exclusion/from-the-dashboard) or from the codebase using the [.meterian](https://docs.meterian.io/the-meterian-webapp/advanced-functionalities/set-exclusion/dotmeterian) file.
