Overview

Deledao ActiveScan, presented by Hāpara has a default blocked page, however, you have the flexibility of creating a custom blocking page for each Policy Manager rule. This custom blocking page is hosted on your site, rather than Deledao's.

Custom blocking page

To turn on the function to customize the blocking page for a rule, go to https://admin.deledao.com/ and sign in with your login credentials. Go to Policy Manager and select the rule on the left side of the screen. Turn on the option to Use a custom blocking page.

• The following parameters will be appended to the provided blocking page URL and sent by the filter. An example of what is appended to a blocking page URL is: 

  https://static.deledao.com/default/blockCom.html?site=https://www.google.com/search?q=pacman&oq=pacman&aqs=chrome..69i57j46l2j0j46j0j46j0.1888j0j6&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&category=Games (detected by real-time text analysis)&cname=deledao-test&title=pacman - Google Search&pgroup=school&type=unblock&uid=test@deledao.com&ou=/&uburl=https://portals.deledao.com/teacher/#/student-signin

• The custom blocking page can determine what corresponding information should be presented based on their values.
  • site: the blocked URL
  • category: the category to which the blocked URL belongs
  • cname: district name (set on admin console)
  • title: the title of the blocking page
  • pgroup: either "school" or "classroom" to indicate whether the student is blocked by school or classroom policy
  • vendor: partner name if there is any
  • norc: Boolean value to determine whether the link for re-categorization is shown. If the value is true, the re-categorization link is not shown. One common scenario for this is when a blocked site is defined in the blocked list, there is no need to do re-categorization.
  • nodwl: boolean value to indicate whether or not the student has signed in
  • allowed: the allowed list for a classroom session to which the student belongs
• There is a set of preserved parameter names in our system that shouldn't be re-defined in the custom blocking page.
  • uid
  • ou
  • liveClass
  • uburl
  • type
  • upgrade

Note: Not all parameters will be passed in each blocking page request, and it is up to the custom blocking page to determine how the parameters are used to show certain information on the page. In the sample HTML file below there is a snippet of Javascript code showing how those parameters are read and used.
