file-level scanning exceptions

Hi,  I'm running SEP12.1.6 Is it possible to exclude file level scanning on processes (.exe) ? I have a long list that I need to exclude. I think the proper way is to:

1. Open SEPM and go to policies

2. open Exceptions policie

3. click on add - windows exceptions- file

4. add the executable (.exe) example - EdgeTransport.exe

Thanks
