To exclude standard boilerplate text from IDM detection, which file should be created before creating the IDM profile?

• A. Whitelisted.txt
• B. Blacklist.txt
• C. Exclusions.json
• D. AllowedContent.csv

Answer: (A)

The main idea is using a whitelist to tell the IDM detector to ignore certain content. By creating a file that lists boilerplate text patterns and naming it appropriately (Whitelisted.txt) before you build the IDM profile, you’re providing the detection engine with explicit content to skip. This prevents boilerplate blocks from triggering policy hits as the profile is created and as scans run, keeping results focused on what truly matters. A blacklist would be used to flag or block content, which is the opposite of excluding it from detection. An exclusions.json might be a general config file in some systems but isn’t the standard mechanism IDM expects for this purpose. AllowedContent.csv would typically specify types of content that are permitted, not a mechanism to exclude specific boilerplate text from detection.
