Keyword Lists
Keyword Lists are user-created collections of keywords patterns, which can be used to identify URLs and App Content as part of the Keyword Category Match in Filter Rules. Typically, Keyword Lists are used to perform wildcard blocking on URLs, to block certain words used on Social Media or to the block file extensions. Keyword Lists provide extreme flexibility when used in conjunction with Filter Rules.
Managing Keyword Lists
To access Keyword Lists, visit your USS Dashboard, and click Products ⟶ Settings ⟶ Keyword Lists
The Keyword Lists screen displays all of your current Keyword Lists on the left. You can expand any list by selecting it. The individual keyword patterns in the list will then be displayed on the right.
Searching Keyword Lists
You can locate a specific keyword pattern using the Search bar.
Enter your search query and click 
(or just hit `Enter`). The Keyword Lists will now only show Lists containing a keyword pattern that matches your search query.
To return to the full list of Keywords, just click the 
button.
