Policies
The Policy page provides you with a visual overview of the Filtering Rules you
have configured for your organization and a means to add more in an ordered
manner. The simple layout enables you to see all the User Groups and their
applied filtering rules. Each combination of a Filter and a Schedule within the
Policies page is referred to as a Pairing. Each Policy Rule must consist of at least
one pairing. To create a typical, time-dependent policy, multiple pairings can be
used.
To add or edit a Policy Rule:
1.
Click the ‘Web Filtering’ service on the main navigation bar at the top of the
screen.
2.
Click the ‘Policy’ link under the ‘Management’ sub-service menu.
3.
Click the ‘Create a Rule’ tab located at the top of the page. You will then be
taken to the ‘Create a Rule’ page. This page allows you create a new rule in
the policy.
4.
Give the rule a unique name in the ‘Name:’ field.
5.
Choose which action is going to take place when this rule is matched.
Currently you have the choice of three actions:
•
Block: Prevents the filtered users from downloading this content, and the
block page will be displayed.
•
Allow: Allows the filtered users to download this content and proceed
normally.
•
Anonymize: Removes the user details from ALL Web filtering records
(needed in some countries to comply with local law). Please note that all
Anonymize rules will appear in their own section at the top of the
Company Policy rule list, but these can be reordered within the
anonymized rules
6.
Define ‘WHO’ this rule is going to run against. Leaving this blank will cause
this filter to be applied against anyone. You can add in individual groups by
clicking the ‘Add Group’ button. This will cause the Select Group screen to
become visible.
7.
You can find the group you are looking for by entering the group name (or part
of) in the search box and clicking the ‘Go’ button. You can also list all of the
groups starting with a particular character by clicking on the # (for symbols or
numbers) or the letters at the top of the Search Groups screen.
8.
Once you can see the group you want, click the ‘Select’ button and then click
the ‘Confirm Selection’ button to return to the rule with the group added to the
rule.
9.
Clicking on the ‘Go’ button with an empty search box will return a list of all
groups registered against your company.
