Click Apply Action.Add a Wildcard URL to the Library CategoryNOTE: Wildcards are to be used for blocking only. They are notdesigned to be used for the always allowed white listing function.To add a URL containing a wildcard to the library category:1. In the Edit WildCard URL List frame, enter the asterisk (*)wildcard symbol, a period (.), and the URL.TIP: The minimum number of levels that can be entered is three(e.g. *.yahoo.com) and the maximum number of levels is six (e.g.*.mail.attachments.message.yahoo.com).2. Click Add to display the associated wildcard URL(s) inthe list box below.3. Select the wildcard URL(s) that you wish to add to thecategory.4. Click Apply Action.NOTE: Wildcard URL query results include all URLs containingtext following the period (.) after the wildcard (*) symbol. Forexample, an entry of *.beer.com would find a URL such as http://virtualbartender.beer.com. However, if a specific URL was addedto a library category that is not set up to be blocked, and a sepa-rate wildcard entry containing a portion of that URL is added to acategory that is set up to be blocked, the end user will be able toaccess the non-blocked URL but not any URLs containing textfollowing the wildcard. For example, if http://www.cnn.com isadded to a category that is not set up to be blocked, and*.cnn.com is added to a category set up to be blocked, the enduser will be able to access http://www.cnn.com since it is a directmatch, but will not be able to access http://www.sports.cnn.com,since direct URL entries take precedence over wildcard entries.
