Help Navigation Tips:

  • Policy Section: Windows in the Policy section are used for creating and managing IP groups and sub-groups, and for setting up LDAP domains, groups, and individual users. Filtering profiles are created for IP sub-groups, and LDAP workstations, groups and users, and containers.

    The navigation panel at the left of the screen contains a hierarchical list of groups set up in a tree format. At the root of this tree is Policy. For each new session, the list of groups is collapsed by default, and includes the following branches of the tree: Global Group, IP, and LDAP if authentication is enabled.

    NOTE: Group administrators will only see the Global Group and IP branches of the tree. If using the synchronization feature, a server set up in the Target mode to synchronize both profile and library setting changes will not have branches of the tree accessible to group administrators, and global administrators will only see Global Group > Range to Detect.

    Double-click the branch of your selection to display the list of groups/domains previously added to that branch. Keep double-clicking items in the tree list to view additional items.

    For any item in this tree list, click the item to view a menu of sub-topics. Sub-topics include actions that can be performed for the selected item.

  • Library Section: Library section windows are used for adding and maintaining library categories. Library categories are used when creating or modifying a filtering profile.

    A list of main topics displays in the navigation panel at the left of the screen. Main topics in this section include the following: Updates, Library Lookup, Customer Feedback Module, Category Weight System, NNTP Newsgroup, Pattern Detection Whitelist, and Category Groups.

    NOTE: Group administrators will only see the Library Lookup and Category Groups > Custom Categories topics. If the synchronization feature is used, a Web Filter set up in the Target mode to synchronize both profile and library setting changes will only display the Updates, Library Lookup, Customer Feedback Module, NNTP Newsgroup, and Pattern Detection Whitelist topics for global administrators, and group administrators will only have the Library Lookup topic available.

    To select Updates, click this topic. This action opens a menu of sub-topics: Configuration, Manual Update, Additional Language Support, Library Update Log, and Emergency Update Log.

    Click Library Lookup, Customer Feedback Module, Category Weight System, NNTP Newsgroup, or Pattern Detection Whitelist to select that topic.

    Double-click Category Groups to open the tree list. From this tree list, double-click a category group to view the library categories within that group. Click a library category to view its menu of sub-topics.

    To add a custom category, click Custom Categories and select Add Category. Custom Categories should only be added if the category you need is not included among the Trustwave supplied categories. A custom category must be maintained by the group administrator or the global administrator. Trustwave maintains Trustwave supplied categories only.

  • Reporting Section: The Reporting section contains the Report Configuration window that is used if this Web Filter's log files will be transferred to a reporting application.

    From the navigation panel at the left of the screen, click Report Configuration, Real Time Probe, Usage Graphs (on a WFR or IR unit) or Monitor Graphs (in Bridge mode) to display the specified window in the right panel.

  • System Section: The System section is comprised of windows used for configuring and maintaining the server to authenticate users, and to filter or block specified Internet content for each user based on the applied filtering profile.

    To choose a main topic or to view a menu of available sub-topics, click your selection in the navigation panel at the left of the screen. This action displays the window for that topic in the right panel, or opens a menu if sub-topics exist for your selection.

  • For Help in a Window: For help in any window, press F1 on your keyboard or mouse-over the "?" symbol to view information about that window.
  • Navigate to Another Section: To navigate to another section, click the button at the top of the screen for Home, Policy, Library, Reporting, or System.
  • How to Exit the Administrator Console: To end your session, click the Logout button at the top of the screen.
