Default settings
The default settings are settings that were migrated from nVision 9 and assigned to the Atlas.
Determination of the default website blocking settings in nVision 10 comes down to the aggregation of all “Block” rules in the Agent profile from nVision 9. Thus, a default set containing all website blocking rules is created.
Group settings
In the migration process, user groups are created, and they are the carrier of website blocking settings.
During data migration, the parent group “Filtering” is created and includes 3 built-in subgroups:
•Groups from profiles, •Groups from maps, •Groups from devices. The parent group and the built-in subgroups do not contain any built-in settings.
In the built-in subgroups, the user groups will be created and take the names after:
•monitoring profiles used in nVision 9, •maps if they used individual settings in nVision 9, •devices if they used individual settings (i.e. did not use the Agent profile or map settings).
Then, the accounts of users that were working on devices in the relevant profiles in nVision 9 will be added to the groups.
Method for transferring settings:
•For the Atlas and each of the networks and Agents using the individual website blocking rules, the groups of blocking settings are created and placed in the parent group “Filtering”. Users are assigned to the groups (similarly to the transfer of monitoring settings). •Each group of website blocking settings contains all the filtering rules that were previously assigned to the profile. These rules are set as individual rules for each of the groups. •For each “Block” rule from the default settings which does not interfere with any individual group rule, the opposite “Allow” rule is created and assigned as an individual rule of the group. This action unlocks the websites that have not been locked so far, but could be locked as a result of the migration. •After the transfer of settings, the removal of redundant rules in the default settings is performed: the “Block” rules that are included in other rules are removed (e.g. the rule for the “*.pl” domain contains the rule for the “domain.pl” website).
Additional information:
•In the migration process, none of the users receives individual website filtering rules. •As a result of migration, the user that was working on more than one computer may have less websites blocked. •If the global settings block the “*” domain and the individual group settings block the “domain.pl” domain only, the “Allow” rule will not be created for the “*” domain at the group level because this would make the “domain.pl” blocking rule ineffective. For this reason, after migration, some of the groups may potentially block more websites than the corresponding profiles in version 9 of the program. |
