Creating, Editing, Copying, and Deleting Origin Definitions
From the Origin tab, you can create, edit, copy, and delete origins. You can also:
- make origin definitions active
- assign origin definitions to categories
- choose to log requests from an origin
- apply category suppression rules
Display of the Copy and Create New Buttons
Pathfinder Pro origins are Sierra and Encore/WebPAC. When all these origins have been created, the Copy and Create New buttons no longer display. To display the Copy and Create New buttons again, you must delete an origin.
Creating Origins
To create and save an origin definition, you need only give it a name. Origins can be created with these buttons:
- Create New
The Create New button opens a blank origin. Create the origin by entering data in the blank origin's data fields. - Copy
The Copy button opens an editable copy of an existing origin. Create the new origin by editing the data in the copy's data fields.
To create an origin with the Create New button, follow these steps:
- Choose Origins from the menu on the left-hand side of the Pathfinder Pro home page.
The Origins tab displays:
