# Accept Risk

The accept risk pop-up can be accessed from the check result pop-up. This dialog enables you to accept the risk that is reported by check result. Accepted risks are not used when calculating the compliance score for an app. After accepting a risk the score for the current app is re-calculated. The next time a new revision is checked the list of accepted risks will also not be used to calculate the score.

The following options are available:

* **What do you want to accept?**
  * **Ignore specific risk** : If you select this, the currently selected combination of check type, element type, and element name will be accepted.
  * **Ignore all risks of the same type** : If you select this, all check results of this type will be accepted.
* **Comment.** Enter a comment that explains why you are accepting this risk. If the policy administrator has made it mandatory, you must enter a comment in this field.
* **Check type.** The name of the check type to be accepted.
* **Element type.** The element type to be accepted.
* **Element name.** The element name to be accepted.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bluestorm.io/dashboards/policies/accept-risk.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
