uk” is all that is needed.

Info

Blacklisting a website will not block that website from being accessed. It will instead generate a capture as soon as that website is accessed, no matter what content is displayed on the page.

If whitelisting CPOMS, you will need to add the whole unique CPOMS link for your school. For example: yourschool.cpoms.net.

Advanced Settings

Advanced settings are also available to change the severity weights or confidence values for a website instead of outright whitelisting the URL.

This can be useful for situations where you want captures to still be created from a website, but at a reduced severity score. For example, a value of -1 will reduce all severities from the website by 1. This will not work if the website has been whitelisted or blacklisted.

Confidence values can also be changed for a website. This will modify the client’s behaviour by only allowing captures through that hit a set confidence rating. For example, setting a rating of 90 will only allow captures to be generated if the confidence score is 90+.

This can help reduce false positives from certain websites. This will not work if the website has been whitelisted or blacklisted. Further information about the confidence engine can be found in section 2.8.
