Adding PICS labels to a document

The Platform for Internet Content Selection (PICS) is a system for labeling Web documents with respect to their content. It was originally developed as a standardized method that could be used by Internet filtering products or Web browsers to identify and filter out content that users deem inappropriate for their children. The PICS system depends on Web authors or webmasters labeling their own documents according to some formalized rating or classification system. One example of such a rating system is the one developed by the Internet Content Rating Association. The ICRA Web site features a PICS label generator that you can use to generate a PICS label for a site or page, based on your answers to some content-related questions. Once you have a PICS label, you can easily insert it into a document using Namo WebEditor. (To apply a PICS label to an entire site, add it to the site’s index page.)

To add PICS labels to a document
  1. On the Document menu, go to Property, click Document, and then click the Advanced tab.
  2. In the Labels box under Platform for Internet Content Selection (PICS), type or paste each PICS label. Separate multiple labels with carriage returns (press Enter).
  3. Click OK.
