2. Under DNS settings, select Naming policies.
3. Select the Naming policy restrictions tab.
4. Select New.
5. Under General, complete the following:
   • Name—enter a descriptive name for the naming policy restriction.
6. On the Restriction list tab, select between the following options:
   • Upload restriction list—drag and drop or browse to import restricted values from a text file.
     Attention: Importing a restricted values text file overwrites any existing values in the restriction list.

     • Value—enter a word you want to restrict.
