Manage Category Rules


  • Click 'Configure' > 'Policy Settings' > 'Category Rules' to open this interface.


A category rule is a named set of website categories to block. You attach a category rule to a policy on the policy's 'Settings' tab, and the same rule can be reused by any number of policies.

You can create, update and delete category rules from this interface.
