URL Patterns

To add URLs to a list, select the URLs in the Available column and move them to the Selected column.

Click Create a New Pattern to create a new URL pattern. Note: A URL pattern is a list of URLs organized into a group. You can later assign this list to a URL category.

Separate multiple URLs with commas. The URL List field supports the *, ., [, ], and ? wildcard characters. Precede all wildcard characters with http://. You can only use * at the beginning of a URL followed by a period, and you can only use ? at the end of a URL.
