By using these   categorization features, you can maximize the overall usefulness of   your CyBlock or Cyfin product. Follow these 5 tips to get the most out   of categorization.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Keep your categorization list current via daily  updates<\/strong>.<br \/>\nWavecrest  site analysts work continuously to update and  expand the categorization  list. In fact, the Wavecrest URL list is 100%  human reviewed. These  updates are available for download daily. It&#8217;s a  simple  process that can be done manually or on an automatic\/scheduled  basis.  You can download the URL list or schedule the download to occur  daily  on the <strong>Administration &#8211; URL List<\/strong> screen.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Establish custom categories<\/strong>.<br \/>\nAugment Wavecrest&#8217;s standard 74 categories with  custom   categories. You can add up to 25 custom categories. You can activate and use as many or as  few of these as  you want, and you can easily give them specific names  of your own  choosing. Names are limited to 50 characters. These  settings are found  on the <strong>Advanced Settings \u2014 Category Setup \u2014  Name Custom<\/strong> screen. Once a custom category has been  established, you can augment  the Wavecrest URL List with URLs of your  own choosing and place them in  the custom category for subsequent  monitoring or filtering. Custom  categories also provide white list  (allow-only) capability for CyBlock  users.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Add URLs<\/strong>.<br \/>\nYou can add URLs to both the Wavecrest standard and custom  categories. The applicable settings are found on the <strong>Advanced  Settings \u2014 Category Setup \u2014 Edit URLs<\/strong> screen. You can also  delete URLs here.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Change a URL&#8217;s category<\/strong>.<br \/>\nIf you wish, you can change the category to which Wavecrest has   assigned a particular URL. You can do this by simply adding the URL to   the category of your choice. Your categorization will take permanent   precedence over the Wavecrest URL list.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Participate in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wavecrest.net\/products\/otherwise.html\">OtherWise<\/a> program<\/strong>.<br \/>\nTo opt in our OtherWise program, you simply need to periodically run a <em>Top  Non-categorized Sites<\/em> report and email a copy to <a href=\"mailto:sites@wavecrest.net\">sites@wavecrest.net<\/a>. Our list  technicians  will research, identify and categorize the most popular  unidentified  sites, many of which will be of local or special interest  to your  organization. Then, after you download the next daily control  list  update, subsequent visits to those sites by your users will no  longer  be listed as &#8220;Other.&#8221; They&#8217;ll be properly identified and  categorized.  <em>NOTE: We hold all customer information sent to us in  strict confidence.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CyBlock and Cyfin offers the advanced functionality for you to manage and customize the categorization of sites.
