Automatic categorization

The Automatic categorization tab lets you categorize resources in bulk. An automatic rule defines the condition under which websites or applications are assigned to a selected category.

Create a rule for subdomains

Suppose example.com belongs to a selected category and you want all its subdomains, such as support.example.com, to use the same category.

1. Click Add rule.
2. Enter the domain with an asterisk: *.example.com.
3. Select the destination category.
4. Click Add rule. Matching subdomains will be categorized automatically.

How wildcard matching works

• *example.com matches resources whose names end with example.com.
• *example* matches resources containing example anywhere in the name.
• Photoshop* matches resources whose names begin with Photoshop, such as Photoshop CS or Photoshop CS2.

A resource added through automatic categorization appears in reports after Yaware.TimeTracker receives its first activity statistics.
