Managing Local Lists

URL / Keywords Local Lists

The URL/Keyword Local Lists are used to perform Actions for specific URLs for a selected Group policy. Only users assigned to that Policy’s Group, during times when the Policy is active, will be affected. Lists allow for any actions (allow, deny, assign a category, rewrite the whole URL). 

Priority Levels:
  1. Local Lists take precedence over Shared Lists.
  2. System-Wide Lists, however, have the highest priority and override both Local and Shared Lists.
The Select All / Deselect All box allows you to select or deselect all the items in the list. The More and the Trash icon display when a List item is selected. The Trash icon lets you delete the select items from the list. The More icon (three vertically stacked dots) displays a menu containing the items shown in the image below.
