Dictionary Content

Dictionaries can have up to 100 phrases. To add content to the dictionary, click Add. Complete the fields on the resulting dialog box as follows:

Phrase: Enter a word or phrase to include. This phrase, when found in the content, affects whether the content is considered suspicious.

Weight - Select a weight, from -999 to 999 (excluding 0). When matched with a threshold, weight defines how many instances of a phrase can be present, in relation to other phrases, before triggering a policy.

For example, if the threshold is 100 and a phrase's weight is 10, a web post can have 9 instances of that phrase before a policy is triggered, provided no other phrases are matched. If phrase A has a weight of 10 and phrase B has a weight of 5, 5 instances of phrase A and 10 instances of phrase B will trigger the policy.

By default, if no weight is assigned, each phrase is given a weight of 1.

Thresholds are defined on the policy's Data Security tab.

Click OK and the phrase appears in the content list. You can add phrases one by one, or import them from a CSV file using the import button described below.

Remove phrases by selecting them and clicking Remove.

Import

If you have many phrases to include, create a text file listing the phrases, then click Import and navigate to the text file.

The text file must be of UTF8 format. In the text file:

List each phrase on a separate line. The phrase can be up to 256 characters.

Optionally, provide one weight per phrase on the same line.
