Summary
Netsweeper supports fully customizable Category Revisions. You can create and modify both Categories and Category Groupings, but there are a few factors to consider before doing so.
Considerations
There are several considerations you should be aware of before customizing your revision:
- Be sure you aren't creating redundant categories or groupings.
- Is there an easier method to accomplish what you're attempting?
Furthermore, it is important to understand that upgrading your Netsweeper Policy Server version does not overwrite your Category Revision. When we release a new Category Revision, we do not force-install it on our existing customers.
However, when you do upgrade, your customizations will not be included automatically. Customers must review the category changes for the new version as well as audit their existing version to ensure their customizations are included in the newer version when they update (if desired).
Modifying Categories
In the WebAdmin, navigate to Administration > Categories. The 'Categories' window displays, consisting of two tabs, 'Revisions' and 'Templates'. In the 'Revisions' tab, select the Edit button for the Revision you wish to modify. The ‘Category Editor’ window displays.
Note: In order to edit the ‘Published’ Revision, you must first use the Clone button create an editable Clone of the Revision.
You can add, disable, or edit any Category or Grouping here. For step-by-step instructions for these tasks, please refer to our Adding and Modifying Custom Categories documentation.
