Blocking URLs

You can exclude URLs from being tested by the URL Checker by adding the URL or a portion of the URL to the URL Block list. The block list can have up to 500 entries. To add a URL to the list, select URL Block from the Admin menu.

Partial URLs

You do not have to enter a full URL in the URL Block list. You can enter a partial URL or other value to exclude from the URL Checker report. For example, you can enter strings such as "innovative", "innovative.com", or "innovative.com/html/products" to exclude any URL that contains the string specified.

In the URL Block list window, you can choose from the following toolbar actions:

Append	Choose Append to add a new URL to the end of the block list.
Save	Choose Save to all changes to the block list.
Delete	Choose Delete to delete the currently selected URL from the list.
Copy	Choose copy to copy the currently selected URL from the list. After you duplicate the URL, you can Edit it.
Insert	Choose Insert to add a URL to the block list on a new row above the currently selected row.
Edit	Choose Edit to edit the currently selected URL.
Move	Choose Move to move the currently selected URL(s) to a new position in the list.
Print	Choose Print to print the list of blocked URLs.
Close	Choose Close to close the URL Block window.

Choose Tools | Find | Find in any cell to find a string in your URL Block list. Enter a string for which you want to search and choose OK. You also can find additional instances of a string in the URL Block list by choosing Find Next from the Tools | Find menu.

When you finish working in the URL Block window, choose Save to retain your changes or Close to discard your changes and exit.
