How to edit Categories

Editing Umberella behaviours

Click on the behaviour which is highlighted to jump straight to that page. 

The Umbrella page shows the available behaviours and their current status. It also shows you the search term categories and website categories that are applied by each Behaviour. You can easily toggle whether a Behaviour is active or inactive by clicking the Remove icon. 

Back to the categories; Lower down the page shows the active categories and their current status. You can change the status between ‘Block‘ and ‘Allow‘ by simply clicking the status indicator. You can also add in any categories from the inactive categories list on the right-hand side by just dragging them over.

One of the features of the SurfProtect product is allowing you to order the list. This is made possible by a classification system which allows for a website to have multiple classifications. When deciding whether to allow or block a website, SurfProtect will work down this list and behave based on the first category the website matches.

Let’s take the ESPN website as an example. This website is classified as both sports and news. It might be that you would like news sites to be accessible on your connection, but not general sports sites. In this scenario you would place the category news above sports and set the status to ‘Allow‘ for news and ‘Block‘ for sports (see below). Now, SurfProtect will allow the page to be loaded as the first classification it matches in the list is news, which is permitted. However a site which is classified as sports, such as nba.com will continue to be blocked as sports is the first category in the list which nba.com matches.
