CRM Setup – Filtering Tab – GenTech Solution

CRM Setup – Filtering Tab

A. Filtering Tab

1. Choosing A Mode

A. Categories: For users requesting open (Filtered) access.

For this setting – leave the 4 mode switches on Allow.

Use the toggle switches to set the categories to be allowed/blocked to the user’s specifications.

B. Whitelist: For users requesting restricted access – needing only a pre-selected list of sites.

For this setting – set the ALL DATA – Gentech’s Whitelist mode switch to Block (Leave the other 3 on Allow).

This setting disables all the category toggle switches. Any Sites and Apps must be allowed by using the URL Approvals and Meta Apps.

2. Quality Time

GenTech has the capacity to set a customized schedule to block full internet access on the device. Times can be set in 30-minute intervals and can be adjusted for a full week’s schedule.

3. URL Lists

This section contains 3 parts:

A. TAG SSL Override – This feature allows resolving security errors from secure sites.

Important Notes:

If the commands are entered incorrectly, it will not work. Please note that the format to enter sites here is different from the rest of the CRM.
In this section, a star is used to represent a word. This may potentially open any subdomain on that entire domain, so please use with caution.
Use a star only when you need to open multiple subdomains of a site. Otherwise, simply enter the necessary subdomain, as shown below.

Choose the correct format from the charts below.

B. Old URL Lists – Some users have URLs that were entered before the CRM update. These were left here as non-editable lists with a red X. In order to remove any site, you need to delete the entire list (press the red X). Please copy the entire list prior to deleting as everything else will need to be re-entered using the new URL approval system.

C. New URL Requests – All individual sites that were customized for this account – using the Add New URL feature – appear in this section.

Changing or Removing A Site

All changes must be done in the URL approval section. Use the links under the Activity tab to open the request and change the settings of that particular request.

4. Add New URL

This section allows the individual sites to be customized. These URLs are placed on lists that give them customized settings.

Available options for site customization:

A. Whitelist – Allow an individual site to open.
