Hi,
I have a DLP policy with a rule that states to flag any word considered a profanity when users type it in a chat in Teams. The flagging does work and it has an option to "report" it to the admins if the user feels the certain word should not be flagged as profanity. When that "report" button is clicked, nothing happens. I figured an email should be sent, but nothing. I'm using a DLP policy in the O365 compliance portal and a rule within it which states to email a certain group if the rule match happens. But I do not see an option about the "report" button. I've pasted a screenshot of the message (hopefully it shows).
Has anyone dealt with this and knows where to adjust the email address for those Report options?
Thanks.

Hi @EDub ,
Just following up regarding my previous post. Do you perhaps have any questions regarding the information provided?
Hi Yuki,
Sorry for the lack of reply from my end. I have created policies for what I need, but cannot figure out where the report on the Report button goes to. I am still working through that. Appreciate both you and Michev for the answers on this. Was very helpful.
Thanks @EDub for the response and happy to know that it could be of some help : ) By the way, if you don't mind, you can click the "Accept Answer" button under Michev's post so that it could be easier for others with similar question to see the useful information when reading this thread. Thanks!
That's the Communication Compliance functionality, not DLP. Hitting the Report button doesnt fire an email, but you can review any matches in the Compliance Center UI. Or report on them: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/communication-compliance-reports-audits?view=o365-worldwide
Hi @EDub ,
DLP policy is usually used to to protect employees from sending sensitive information like credit card number, while communication compliance policies help protect people from profanity, threats, harassment, and other inappropriate communications. For more details about DLP and communication compliance policies, see Teams messages about data loss prevention (DLP) and communication compliance policies. So as agree with michev that from your description, it's more likely to be related to the communication compliance policies.
