Domain Groups Management allows you to organize the Dashboard list of domains in groups. Initially, this list is empty. You must define groups for your organization. When Dashboard users select Event Criteria, it will be easier for them to select from a short list of domain groups than from a long list of domains. It will also be convenient to include or exclude an entire set of domains in one selection to focus on either productivity or inappropriate activity.
Group Name: Name given to the group in the Dashboard. For example, you could define these groups:
Clients: Domains belonging to partner companies, which may indicate productivity.
Competitors: Domains belonging to competitors, which may indicate either productivity or trouble.
Inappropriate: Domains users have been visiting for entertainment, sports, shopping, job searching, or banking.
Forbidden: Domains that are off limits and users should never visit.
Group Type: Indicates whether the group is a list of specific domains or a list of other domain groups.
Description: A description of this group of domains.

You can use Spector 360 to block access to "forbidden" domains. Use Website Filtering in the Dashboard Management tool, or block sites on a Client-by-Client basis using the Client Settings (see the Spector 360 Administrator's Guide). |
When domain groups have been defined, rather than picking and choosing from all domains, the Dashboard user can select Domain Groups to include or exclude from Dashboard reports, such as, "Clients," "Entertainment," "Banking," or "Forbidden" groups.
To group domains:
Click Management and select the Domain Groups folder in the navigation pane.
Right-click anywhere on the right pane and select New from the pop-up menu. A New Group window for Event Domain Group appears.
In the New Group window, type a Group Name (up to 20 characters including spaces).
In the Description
field, type a description for the group.
Next to Group Type, select Specific
Domain:
All domains known to Spector 360 are listed in the left "Available
Event Domains" list. Click in the list and type the first character
of a domain name to move quickly through the list.
Select a domain from the left column list. Use the Shift and Control keys to select multiple programs.
Click > to send all highlighted domains
to the right hand "selected" list. (The >> button sends
all domains in the available list to the selected list.)
Click < to return highlighted domains in the "selected" list back to the "available" list. Click << to return all domains back to the "available" list.
When you have selected the desired domains, click Save and Close on the toolbar. The window closes and the new group appears on the Domain Groups window.
To use Domain Groups Management:
Create a new domain group by clicking New on the toolbar (or right-click > New).
Change a group's domains, name, or description. Right-click on the group and select Edit.
Delete a selected domain group by clicking Delete on the toolbar (or right-click > Delete).
