Website Categories

• The categories tab shows all built-in and user-defined web categories.

• Categories contain a list of 'Websites' which can be allowed or blocked in a rule.

• A 'Website' can be a URL or a simple phrase / term. You can use wildcard characters ( * ) with both URLs and terms.
  

Open the website filtering categories section

• Click 'Settings' at the top left of the CCS home screen to open the advanced settings interface

• Click 'Website Filtering' on the left and choose the 'Categories' tab
  

• Click the search icon to find a specific rule header. You can type rule names in full or in part.

The categories pane lets you:

• Add a new category of Website

• Rename a category

• Remove unwanted Website from category

• Remove a category
  

Add a New Category of Websites

Adding a new category involves two steps:

• Step 1 - Define a name for the category

• Step 2 - Add Websites to be included to the category

Step 1 - Define a name for the category 

1. Click 'Settings' on the CCS home screen

2. Click ‘Website Filtering' on the left

3. Click the 'Categories' tab

4. Click the 'Add' button at the top and select 'Add Category' from the drop-down menu.

Type a name for the category in the 'Add Category' box:

The new category will be listed under the 'Categories' tab:

Next, add websites to be included in the category.

Step 2 - Add URLs to be included to the category

You can add websites to a category in two ways:

• Manually Specify Websites

• Upload Website URLs from a text file

Manually specify websites

1. Select the 'Category' from the list.

2. Click the 'Add' button.

3. Select 'Add Website' from the drop-down menu.

Type the address of the website you wish to add to the category in the 'Add Website' box:

• To add a specific webpage, enter the full path to the page.

• To include all sub-domains of website, add a wildcard character and a period in front of the URL. For example, *.friskywenches.com will cover friskywenches.com, login.friskywenches.com, pictures.friskywenches.com, videos.friskywenches.com and so on.

• To include all the websites with URLs that start with a specific string, add a wildcard character after the string. For example, pizza* will cover 'pizzahut.com', 'pizzacorner.net', and so on.

• To include all the websites with URLs that contain a specific string, add the wildcard character before and after the string. For example, *pizza* will cover hotpizza.com, spicypizza.net and so on.

• Click 'OK'.

• The website will be added to the category.

4. Repeat the process to add more websites.

Upload a list of websites from a text file

1. Select the target category from the list.

2. Click the 'Add' button and select 'Import Websites' from the drop-down menu.

3. Navigate to the file containing your list of URLs.

Note: The text file should contain only the list of full URLs or URLs with wildcard character (*) of the websites. The file should be of the '.txt' format.

4. Click 'Open'.

CCS will automatically add the websites specified in the text file into the selected category.

Rename a category

1. Click 'Settings' on the CCS home screen

2. Click ‘Website Filtering' on the left

3. Click the 'Categories' tab

4. Click 'Edit' at the top or right-click and select 'Edit' from the drop-down menu.
