  Filtering Transactions Using URL Categories
Check policies and identities to be sure that they still meet your policy goals after category merges, 
additions, and deletions, and 
Consider modifying policies and identities to benefit from new categories and the added granularity 
of split categories.

Filtering Transactions Using URL Categories
The URL filtering engine configured allows you to filter transactions in Access, Decryption, and Data 
Security Policies. When you configure URL categories for policy groups, you can configure actions for 
custom URL categories, if any are defined, and predefined URL categories. 
The URL filtering actions you can configure depends on the type of policy group:
Configuring URL Filters for Access Policy Groups
You can configure URL filtering for user defined Access Policy groups and the Global Policy Group.
Step 1
Choose Web Security Manager > Access Policies.
Step 2
Click the link in the policies table under the URL Filtering column for the policy group you want to edit.
Step 3
(Optional) In the Custom URL Category Filtering section, you can add custom URL categories on which 
to take action in this policy:
a.
Click Select Custom Categories.
b.
Choose which custom URL categories to include in this policy and click Apply.
Choose which custom URL categories the URL filtering engine should compare the client request 
against. The URL filtering engine compares client requests against included custom URL categories, and 
ignores excluded custom URL categories. The URL filtering engine compares the URL in a client 
request to included custom URL categories before predefined URL categories. 
The custom URL categories included in the policy appear in the Custom URL Category Filtering section.
