Local and Shared Lists
Netsweeper allows you to create and maintain both local or shared lists. These lists are designed to allow for specific rules for specific types of traffic. Local lists affect one group of users, Shared Lists can be shared among multiple groups of users.
Adding a New Entry
Once you've navigated to the desired List, select the New Entry button to create a new List Rule.
Available Entry Types
| Allow | Select the Allow option from the 'Action' dropdown to allow the entered URL |
| Deny | Select Deny from the 'Action' dropdown to deny the entered URL |
| Categorize | Use the Categorize action to assign a new Category to a URL |
| Replace | Select Replace to replace the Entered URL with any other URL. For example, you can replace example.com with google.com |
| Modify Query | Use the Modify Query tab to modify a URL |
| Search and Replace | Use this function to search for a specific string and replace it with another string. |
| Regular Expression | Use the Regular Expression tab to replace a regular expression. |
NOTE: If you don't see the desired Entry Type in your WebAdmin, please contact your System Administrator, or Netsweeper Support.
