How BrowseReporter captures screenshots by website category

Managing screenshots at the category level makes monitoring much easier. Rather than creating rules for individual websites, you can apply screenshot policies to predefined website categories and extend your existing screenshot monitoring setup.

One rule, a whole category

Apply a screenshot capture policy to a complete category of websites with a single configuration.

Less setup and maintenance

Reduce setup and maintenance effort as the number of monitored websites grows. There’s no need to manage long lists of URLs.

Aligned to your taxonomy

Reuse the same category model used in BrowseControl, so there is no separate taxonomy to maintain.

Better Context for Reviews

Each screenshot includes category information, making it easier to search, filter, and review captured activity.

Why per-URL Screenshot Configuration Doesn’t Scale

As the number of websites to monitor scales, creating screenshot rules for individual URLs becomes harder to maintain. The process takes more time, increases the risk of errors, and provides limited context during reviews.

Manual setup doesn't scale

Adding and maintaining rules for every website becomes increasingly difficult as monitoring requirements expand.

Repetition across related sites

Teams often need identical rules across related websites. Configuring each URL individually creates unnecessary work.

No category context in review

Screenshots are harder to analyze when there is no clear indication of the type of website being captured.

Built to Make Screenshot Capture Rules Scalable

Reduce repetitive work

Manage screenshot policies using reusable website categories instead of creating rules for individual websites.

Scale coverage, not overhead

Monitor more websites without significantly increasing configuration and maintenance efforts.

Consistent policy design

Use a shared category structure across the organization to keep screenshot policies consistent and avoid overlaps or gaps.

Faster operator ramp-up

Category-based rules are easier to understand than long lists of domains, helping new operators become productive faster.

So, What’s Included?

A new capture type that reuses CurrentWare’s existing category model, with flexible configuration and review capabilities. Users can filter by area below.

Configuration

Website Category capture type

A dedicated screenshot capture option that uses the existing BrowseControl category model. No additional category management is required.

Multi-select with search

Quickly find and select multiple website categories when creating rules for specific PC groups.

Per-PC setup

Assign category-based screenshot rules to the appropriate teams, departments, kiosks, call centers, or shared workstations.

Review & Filter

Category filter on All page

Filter screenshots on the ‘All’ page using website categories to quickly narrow results and focus on specific types of activity.

Category labels on thumbnails

Category labels appear directly on screenshot thumbnails, making it easy for you to identify the type of website captured at a glance.

Editable, removable rules

Update or remove website category rules anytime to keep screenshot policies aligned with changing monitoring requirements.

Screenshots by website category use cases

Monitor groups of related websites without maintaining extensive domain lists. Select the categories you want to monitor, assign them to the appropriate devices, and review screenshots with clear category labels.

Watch high-risk categories

Capture screenshots across entire categories such as social media or file-sharing websites without adding every domain individually.

Target specific machines

Create stricter monitoring policies for kiosks, call centers, shared workstations, or other high-risk environments.

Support compliance coverage

Monitor activity related to sensitive functions such as finance, HR, or other regulated business areas.

Speed up investigations

Use category-based filters to quickly locate screenshots related to a specific type of web activity.

Benefits of Screenshots by Website Category

Searchable category selection and flexible administration make it easier to create, update, and deploy policies across multiple PC groups. Category-aware filtering also helps teams find relevant screenshots faster.

Less repetitive configuration

Manage monitoring policies through reusable website categories instead of maintaining large URL lists.

Scales with coverage

Expand website coverage without creating additional administrative overhead.

Consistent policy design

A shared category framework helps keep monitoring rules aligned across teams and departments.

Faster Onboarding

Clear category names make it easier for new administrators to understand and manage screenshot policies.

Faster compliance response

Update monitoring requirements at the category level instead of modifying individual rules one at a time.

Category-aware review

Category labels and filters help reviewers quickly find and validate relevant screenshots.
