How to Add and edit a category set in Websense Server

A category set is a list of all Websense-defined and custom categories, with a filtering setting assigned to each. Create a new category set to customize how filtering settings are associated with URL categories, and then add the category set to a policy and apply the policy to clients.

  1. In Websense Manager, right-click in the navigation tree and select Add Category Set.
    The Add Category Set dialog box appears.
  2. Enter a unique name for the new category set, such as Teachers or Human Resources, and then click OK.
  3. Choose an existing category set (such as Default Settings) to use as a model for the new category set, and then click OK.
    A new category set is created. The new category set is an exact replica of the model until you make changes.
  4. Select the new category set, in the navigation tree, and then click Edit in the content pane.
  5. Select a category in the list, and then select a filtering setting (such as Permit, Block, or Continue) for the category.
  6. Repeat the previous step until all categories are associated with an appropriate filtering setting.
  7. Click OK.
  8. Click Save Changes above the navigation tree.
  9. Add the category set to a policy to enact these filtering settings. Instructions are provided in the Administrator’s Guide and the Websense Manager Help system.

Deleting a category set

  1. Open the category set topic in the navigation pane and select the category set you want to delete.
  2. Click Delete.
  3. Click Yes.
    If the category set is used in a policy, Websense asks you to select a replacement category set.
  4. Click Save Changes above the navigation tree.
