Delete a List
- Go to Policy > Web Policy > List Catalog.
- Select the required List Catalog. In this example, select Global Blocked URLs from the list.
- Click the Actions button dropdown located in the top right corner and select Delete to initiate the deletion.
- A progress bar appears.
NOTE: When deleting a list, it is important to check whether it is referenced in any rulesets. A list that is associated with a ruleset cannot be deleted safely, as this would disrupt policy execution. A list can be safely deleted only if it is not referenced in any ruleset.
To delete a list, the system must first identify all references to it across rulesets. During this process, a progress bar will appear to indicate that the system is searching for references. Once the progress bar completes, you will see one of two results:
-
No references found: The delete action will proceed, and you can then publish your changes to make them effective.
-
References found: The names of the referencing rulesets will appear as hyperlinks. You can click these hyperlinks to navigate to the rulesets and update them by associating a different list, thereby removing the reference to the list you wish to delete.
- The Global Blocked URLs list is referenced in the Global Block List.
NOTE: When multiple hyperlinks are present in a ruleset, clicking one can cause you to lose the context of the other links. To address this, a Copy Ruleset Info has been added to allow users to copy all information at once. - You can click the hyperlink to go to the Global Block Lists ruleset where the list Global Block URLs is referenced.
- To disassociate the Global Blocked URLs in the Global Block List, go to Policy > Web Policy > Global Block > Global Block Lists. Click the three dots next to Domains Blocklist. Click Select Different List.
- Select a new list from the side panel that appears. In this example, New Global Blocked URLs are selected. This dissociates the list to be deleted from this ruleset.
- Click Save.
- Navigate back to List Catalog, Policy > Web Policy > List Catalog. Click Global Blocked URLs.
- Click the Action button located in the top right corner and select Delete to initiate the deletion.
- A progress bar appears, checking for list references in Policy.
- The list is deleted once the progress is complete and the review changes are published by clicking the yellow badge.
