Adding an Item Type Scope to the Recertification Policy enables users to configure what data should be collected for recertification. Often recertification audits generate a huge amount of data and different types of business requests during the Audit. With Item Scope, users can tailor the recertification process to their specific needs and only collect relevant data for their organization. This can streamline the recertification process and reduce the amount of data that needs to be collected and reviewed. The feature also enables organizations to focus on specific access types that are more critical or sensitive and recertify them more frequently than others.
Target vs. Scope
You are adding Target(s) to configure who/what to recertify. In contrast, Item Type Scope will determine which data/access to recertify. You can add multiple targets to a recertification policy, such as two groups and a management role, but then use the Item Type Scope to only recertify a specific subset of those targets, such as people who are directly a group member and also a resultant people in a Set Group called High Security People. This would result in recertifying only the people in the set Group, not the other members of the added groups.
A Recertification Policy can have multiple scope types and objects of the same scope type.
Always Add Item Type to the Policy: We now follow inclusive configurations to simplify the recertification policies. Audits will only collect the data based on the Item Types added to the policies. If there is an Audit with a policy with no Item Type, the Audit won’t generate any data or business requests. Previously the policies supported exclusive configuration, which means the scope of data to collect was predefined, and users were allowed only to exclude types and data.
Item Type Support in Recertification Policies: Not all policy support configuring item types, and the types differ based on the Policy. Please find more information about policy type and supported items below in Supported Item Type.
How to add Item Type Scope

Select the scope type, which will limit the scope of the item type by All, Direct, Location, or SetGroup. The scope type determines Where/Which Data of the selected Item Type to collect in the Audit.
One recertification policy can have multiple Item Types. Please follow the same procedure to add other Item Types to the recertification policy. You will be able to see the target listed in the grid after you save
