Creating URL Patterns
Use the Create URL Patterns page to create custom URL patterns. A URL pattern is a list of URLs organized into a group. You can later assign this list to a URL category.

- Select Configure > UTM Policy > URL Patterns.
- Click the + icon to create a new custom URL pattern list.
- Complete the configuration according to the guidelines provided in Table 1.
- Click Finish. A new custom URL pattern list is created.
