WHERE OBJECTS
Where objects are used to identify the destinations that a rule should apply to. The default for Where
objects is Anywhere. The following objects are included in the Where tab:
Figure 7-6 Where Objects tab
Monitored Destinations
This rule object shows a list of destinations that are monitored by Web Filter manager, and stored in the
database. It is not possible to manually add destinations to this list, because the information is obtained
directly from the destinations visited by your users.
You can refresh the list to show the most up to date monitored workstations by pressing F5. See
"Monitored Data" on page 34 for more information.
User Defined Where Objects
These have to be created manually and can consist of the following:
• Hosts and Domains
• MAC Addresses
• Subnets
Categories
This is a list of the SurfControl Internet Threat Database categories, and any manually created custom
categories.
Where Lists
Where Lists are a combination of Monitored Destinations, User Defined Where Objects and Categories.
This is a convenient way of grouping Where objects together to share common rules.

Hosts and Domains

your network.
