Imagine you are managing a large library, and you want to ensure that certain books are not displayed on the main shelves for various reasons, such as being too sensitive or not suitable for general readers. Instead of going to each shelf and removing the books individually, you have a master list that tells you which books to exclude from all the shelves at once. This makes the process more efficient and ensures that the library maintains a consistent approach to what is available to the public.
In the world of Microsoft Viva, a similar concept is applied through the Unified Exclusion Lists in Copilot Analytics. This feature allows administrators to exclude specific users from appearing in all Viva Insights reports and the Copilot Dashboard. Whether these users have licenses or not, they can be easily managed through a single list. This approach simplifies the configuration process and ensures that sensitive user data is protected consistently across the platform. Just like the library example, this centralized method saves time and ensures that privacy standards are upheld without affecting other organizational data.
