BI Reports: Details panel

Platform: Cloud, On-Premise

A new option, "Show details" is added to the BI Reports. This option is available from the context menu (right-click menu) of a Grid widget:

When selected, it will show detailed information for the selected row/item. For example, employee, computer, task, available actions, etc. Depending on the report type, it will also show context-sensitive information. For example, on the File Events report, in addition to the above info, it will also show email date/time, to/from, subject, etc.

Platform: Cloud, On-Premise

In addition to assigning monitoring profiles to users, you can now assign them to computers as well under Monitoring Settings > profile > Edit Objects to Track screen:

mceclip0.png

A computer’s monitoring profile is going to have higher priority than a user's monitoring profile. If a user logs in from a computer that has a monitoring profile set, that profile will be used instead of the user’s profile. Also, if a computer profile is selected, it will track all users on the computer. If just one employee profile is selected within a profile, then only that employee on a computer will be tracked.

Monitoring Settings: New REGISTRY object

Platform: Cloud, On-Premise

A new monitored object, 'REGISTRY' is now available under the Monitoring Settings >profile screen:

A new option, OFFLINE RECORDING BUFFER SIZE (MB) is added to the Monitoring Settings > Offline Recording monitoring settings screen:

This will toggle the 16-bit high color mode for screen recordings.

Monitoring Settings: Email

A new option, IGNORE EMAILS IF ALL DOMAINS MATCH (REGEX) is added to the Monitoring Settings > Email settings window:

This setting can be used to prevent monitoring of emails if all email addresses to/from/bcc/cc are all in the list of certain domain(s). The aim is to exclude corporate/internal emails from being monitored. For example: .*teramind.co will ignore all email from teramind.co. These emails will also be excluded from any active policies and rules.

Settings: Agent default

Platform: Cloud, On-Premise

A new option, “Create new users on first agent connection” is added to the Settings > Agent Default screen:

mceclip12.png

If it's set to false, new agent connection to the Teramind server will not lead to the creation of new employee in the system. This is helpful, for example, when you have hundreds of accounts that you don't want to monitor and don’t want them to be in the system. For example, service accounts.
