Check if you are looking for below information,

If the control is marked Exempt owing to a policy exception, all the associated assessments are canceled. However, if the Exempt option is cleared for the control and if the control is in the Attest state, then the assessments are re-triggered. And, all the fields in the Attestation section of the control becomes read only.

When control is set as non compliant (via attestation or indicator task), an issue is auto generated. now

1. You can remediate ( response= remediate) the issue which will mark the control as compliant or

2.  You can Accept the issue (response = accept) for temporary workaround for specific period of time , to register this period, you should raise an exception against non compliant control . once you exception is approved, you control will be compliant with exempt ( exempt=True)
