Uploading application(s) to be blocked

To upload a list of applications to be blocked from a file:
  1. Select the Upload applications option. The following displays:

  2. From the Policy dropdown menu, select one or more of the Application Control policies in which to block the applications specified in the file to be uploaded.
  3. You can optionally use the Tag field in order to classify this application. Tags can be helpful for classifying and filtering long lists of applications. In the Tag field, click to specify the tag to be added to the application. You can assign a previously defined tag or define a new tag.

  4. In the bottommost field of this window, select the CSV file that contains the list of applications to be blocked. This file should be a CSV file in which the five leftmost columns (shown below) identify the application to be blocked. A sample file can be downloaded from this window. Alternatively, you can use the same file as can be exported, as described in Exporting the list of applications to be blocked.

  5. Click the Add button. The Application Control Manager then lists a row for each application in the uploaded file.

    When a Collector Group is assigned to the Application Control policy (specify above), then all the applications that are added will be blocked and will not be launched.
