A "Category" in Spector 360 is a list of domains (Internet sites) with something in common. System Categories are ready-made domain lists provided with the Spector 360 Database. For example, the Shopping System Category will include Amazon, eBay, well-known department stores and other online shopping sites.

Use the Find button in Categories Management to see whether a domain is included in one or more of the System Categories. For example, you'll find the domain msn.com in the News and Search Engines categories. |
System Categories do not have their own Management folder, and you cannot edit them, but they are available for selection in Category Groups and Filtering Rules.
All System Categories are marked as type System in selection lists.
You can assume each System Category includes the most well-known domains of its type.
Periodically, updates will be provided for System Categories to keep them current.
Create your own Custom Categories to supplement the System Categories when domains are not properly blocked.
Use the Dashboard charts and forms to watch Web Sites Visited. You can add inappropriate domains to your supplemental Custom Categories as you see them, on the fly.
By using a combination of System and Custom Categories, you will successfully block the portions of the Internet that are problematic at your organization.
