To create custom categories for your account

Steps

  1. Click Add.
  2. Assign a name to your new custom category and give it a description.
  3. Click Submit.
  4. Add hostnames, IP addresses, IP address ranges, or URL paths. For detailed guidance on how to enter sites, and how entries are interpreted, see Adding sites to custom categories. Note the following general guidance:
    • Ensure that hostnames are added only once.
    • Protocols (for example “http://”, “ftp://”) are ignored. Entries are matched to all protocols.
    • Standard ports for the protocol being used are ignored (for example, ports 80 for HTTP, and 443 for HTTPS).
  5. Click Add again.

    Use the buttons at the bottom of the page to Download sites to or Upload sites from a CSV file. A downloaded file can be edited and then uploaded for easy maintenance of the list of sites for the category.

    Important: When a file is uploaded, the contents of the file will replace the list of sites previously associated with the category. It will not add to that list.
