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

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.
