The Instant Override Settings screen enables you to define the following:
Enable Instant Override. Sselect the check box to enable Instant Override. If this box is unchecked, when the block page appears in front of the user, there will be no link that they can click to override the block and visit the requested web page.
Web Filtering Override.
Choose one of the options from the drop-down list:
On - Password Required (recommended)
When the Instant Override link is clicked the user must enter a password to access the blocked web page. This is useful if you want to know whether a user is using Instant Override, or you want to ensure that only certain users can use Instant Override. You must enter the password yourself, or only tell trusted users the password. You can also use the HQ Password for Instant Override, but do not give this password any users as it will also give them access to the HQ.
On - No Password - Warn only
This is most useful on category blocks as it serves as a warning to a user that there might be inappropriate material on the website that they are trying to visit. They can then decide for themselves whether they wish to run the risk of seeing something that they would rather no.
Off
Disables Category Override. If a block page appears because the site belongs to a blocked category, the user will not be able to override it. They will, however, still be able to override Time restrictions if this setting is not set to Off.
Time Override.
Choose one of the options from the drop-down list:
With Password (recommended)
When the Instant Override link is clicked the user will have to enter a password to override the time restriction. This is useful if you want to allow a user to finish off what they were doing when Time Restrictions became active, but want to be kept aware of how long they are spending online.
Without Password - warn only
This allows the user to access a website despite reaching their time limit, without entering a password. The block page really only serves as a warning to the user that they have reached their time limit and from now on will have to keep overriding the block page until the duration limit is reached. After this point they will be unable to access any websites.
Off
Disables Time Override. If a block page appears because the user has reached their time limit, the user will not be able to override it. They will, however, still be able to use Category Override if the setting for this type of Override is not set to Off.
Duration. Sets how long Instant Override will remain in effect. Once this limit is reached, the block page reappears and will need to be overridden again. If you have asked for a password to be entered before a block can be overridden, you can select the User can change duration of override check-box. This enables the person entering the password to change the duration time. They could use this to give themselves a longer span of time before the next block.
