3. Update the BI Classification

The BI Classification package is needed for the new BI Reports feature. Additionally, Teramind uses inCompass® NetSTAR, a comprehensive web categorization and filtering technology to automatically classify websites and their reputations. The update package also contains these classification definitions used on the BI Reports. To update the BI classification:

  1. Download to the latest version of the BI Classification from the Self-hosted portal. To do so, follow the same instructions on Step 1 above but select the download button under the Teramind Classification Update section.
  2. After the file is downloaded, follow the same instructions on Step 2 above but select the Classification Update file (which will look something like update.bibase.20210112.4.tmu) instead of the server update file.
  3. Once the update is completed, you will be able to see the BI classification status under the System Health tab on the Settings screen:
