Adding and editing category groups

Prerequisites

You might want to create your custom categories so that you can add them to your category group, see our help topic, Adding and editing custom categories.

On the Smoothwall Portal home page, under the Your licensed products section, click Filter and in the navigation pane, click Category groups.
To add a new custom category group, click Add category group.
Type the Name for your new category group. We recommend that you try to make this descriptive of the content that you're categorizing, for example, Authentication exceptions.
Optionally, type a Comment for your category group.
If you have a multitenant setup, from the Tenant list, select the tenant that you want this category group to apply.
To filter the Categories list, under the Filter the category list section click a category group. You can select and filter by more than one category group.
Scroll down the Categories list and select those categories that you want to include in your category group.
Once you have selected all the categories that you want to include, click Save group.

Warning: After you have added your custom category groups, you need to publish your changes, see our help topic, Publishing all your Smoothwall Cloud Filter changes.

To edit a category group:
