SchoolProtect - Categories
The Categories page can be accessed via Policies >> Categories & provides a simple overview of how all available categories are defined within each policy.
The page shows all categories stating how they are defined across all the time policies set up in your establishment and the level at which each category has been defined.
You can easily change those category definitions across policies without having to open every policy in turn and making one change at a time.
Categories are listed down the left side, followed by at what level the category is set & lastly columns showing which policies are allowing the category & which are blocking. The levels are as follows:
-
Local: this is the school level and completely within the school's control.
-
System: these are defined by the service provider & cannot be changed.

Making Changes
To change any category definition, controlled at local level, simply use the arrows to move a policy to allow or block the category.
Clicking the single arrow just moves the one policy. The double arrow will move all policies in that column to the other column.
All actions are saved automatically as soon as they are performed.
Searching
Above the table to the right there is a search field that can be used to quickly find the category you wish to change.
In this example 'games' has been searched for. Therefore any categories containing this are visible only.
