Actions on Web Filter report

Admin users (District Administrators and School Administrators) and Teachers have incorporated into their dashboard the web filter report, the report has included the ability to blocklist and allow list URLs, Categories, and Wildcards. These actions are accessible from within the web filter report.

District and School Web filter report

Both district and school admins can action any of the entries logged in the web filter report. It is important to note that when the admin actions a URL or keyword, it will be saved to the relevant profile the device was on when they accessed or browsed that URL. This can be easily viewed in the report in the Profile column. 

These actions will trigger an event in the audit log so that you will be able to keep a log of the changes.

Classroom Web filter report

The Teacher’s Web Filter report will allow teachers to pull a browsing history report for each student attending any of their classes. The report will contain a list of websites that the student visited during the duration of the class while using the Mobile Guardian Web browser (Exception: Chromebook which uses Chrome browser to provide this activity information).

When you action one of these URLs, it will be saved to the relevant class profile the device was on when they accessed or browsed that URL. This can be easily viewed in the report in the Profile column. 

Please Note: To see the history of a particular class, make sure to select that class in the filter option.
