Use Reports to Evaluate Internet Activity
The Websense Master Database organizes categories into risk classes. Risk classes suggest possible types or levels of vulnerability posed by sites in those categories.
Risk classes are used primarily in reporting. The Web Security Dashboard includes charts that track Internet activity by risk class, and you can generate presentation or investigative reports organized by risk class.
Use the Settings > General > Risk Classes page to review or change which categories comprise each risk class.
1.
Select an entry in the Risk Classes list.
2.
Review the Categories list to see which categories are currently included in that risk class.
A check mark shows that the category is currently assigned to the selected risk class. The blue "W" icon indicates categories that are included in the risk class by default.
3.
Mark or clear entries in the category tree to include or exclude a category from the selected risk class. Categories can belong to more than one risk class.
Other choices include:
Option
Description
Select All
Selects all categories in the tree.
Clear All
Deselects all categories in the tree.
Restore Defaults
Resets the category choices for the selected risk class to those provided by the Websense software. A blue W icon indicates a default category.
4.
Repeat this process for each risk class.
5.
Click OK to cache your changes. Changes are not implemented until you click Save and Deploy.
