The actions accessible while filtering URLs are as follows.

• Alert: The website is allowed, and a log entry is created in the URL filtering log. To log and see what's going on, set an alert as the Action for categories of traffic that you don't wish to restrict.
• Allow: The website is allowed to be visited, and no log entries are kept.
• Block: The user will see a RESPONSE page and will be unable to proceed if the website is restricted. An entry is created in the URL filtering log.
• Continue: The user will be sent to a response page advising them that the site has been blocked due to company policy, but that they can still view it. When you prohibit site access for a URL category, you ALSO block User Credential Submissions for that category. The continue action is often used for benign categories, and it is designed to improve the user experience by allowing them to continue if they believe the site is erroneously classified. The message on the response page can be CUSTOMISED to include information particular to your business. In the URL filtering log, an item is created.
• Override: Override: A response page will appear, notifying the user that access to websites in the specified category requires a password. With this option, the security admin or helpdesk PERSON would provide a password that would grant temporary access to all websites in the chosen category. A record is created in the URL filtering log.
• NONE: Only custom URL categories are affected by the none action. If there are multiple URL profiles, select none to ensure that the custom category has no effect on the other profiles. If you have two URL profiles and the custom URL category is set to block in one, you must set the action to none in the other to prevent the block action from being applied to the second profile. A custom URL category must also be set to none in any profile where it is used in order to be deleted.
