Selecting a category will automatically select all its sub-categories and deselecting
a category will automatically deselect its sub-categories. To make a more refined
selection of filtering options, click on the “+” next to each category to display a
list of its sub-categories. A click on the resulting “-” will revert the category to its
previous display. Clicking the “-” of a category will only be possible if all its sub-
categories are either checked or unchecked.
Websites and URL Filtering
Additional filtering (by website URL or URL keyword) can be done using the
“Websites and URL Filtering” section of the Policy Filtering screen. To do this:
1. Select either Block Access to These Websites and URL Keywords or Allow
Access to These Websites and URL Keywords from the drop-down list.
2. In the “Specify a list of Websites separated by spaces” text box, enter the URLs
of the websites to be blocked or accessed. Separate each discrete URL with a
space.
3. In the “Specify a list of URL Keywords separated by spaces” text box, enter the
URL keywords to be blocked or accessed.
4. Click Apply to save. If “Block Access to These Websites and URL Keywords”
was chosen in step 1, all websites listed and all other websites with the key-
words listed in their URLs will be blocked. If “Allow Access to These Websites
and URL Keywords” was chosen in step 1, only the websites listed and other
websites with the keywords listed in their URLs will be allowed to be accessed.
Applying the Filtering Policy
Once different filtering policies have been created, either define a default policy
that will be applied to all networked computers, or apply different policies to indi-
vidual computers separately.
