Adding a URL category to a rule destination

  1. In the Destination tab (Policy Management > Policy Rule > Destination), clickEdit in the web traffic destination area:

    Note: When creating a custom policy, in the rule's destination, for the Web channel, by default there is a “Business Unit: Excluded Resources” list in the Exclude section, which defines trusted domains that should not be tracked. If you want to track one of these domains, remove it from the Excluded Resources on the Policy Management> Resources> Business Unit page.

    The Select an Element window appears:

  2. Select URL Categories from the Display drop-down to view all the categories imported from Forcepoint Web Security Cloud, which are marked by asterisks (*).
  3. Move categories to the Selected > Included tab as needed, to enforce them.
  4. Click OK.
  5. To deploy all the configured changes, click Deploy.

Deleted URL categories

When URL categories are imported (either using Linking Service or the Forcepoint Web Security Cloud XML file), the current URL categories list is deleted, and the new list is saved to the database. URL categories that were used in a rule and now do not exist anymore, are shown as deleted (Policy Management > Policy Rule > Destination).
