On Demand Manual Update:

The Manual Update to M86 Supplied Categories window displays when Manual Update is selected from the Updates menu. This window is used for updating specified M86 supplied library categories on demand from the update server, if the Web Filter has not received daily updates due to an occurrence such as a power outage.

NOTE: The Configuration window should be used for scheduling the Web Filter to automatically download libraries on a daily basis.

1. Choose from the following service options by clicking the corresponding radio button:

• Weekly Update - Select this option to update URL library categories (with additions and deletions), as well as search engine keyword libraries, newsgroup libraries, and IM/P2P pattern files. Choose this option to force a regularly scheduled update to be downloaded.

• Full URL Library Update - Select this option to update URL library categories (with core library files), as well as search engine keyword libraries, newsgroup libraries, and IM/P2P pattern files. Choose this option to replace core library files.

• Patch Update - Select this option to download new patches for the Web Filter, if available. Any patches that are downloaded can be found in the System section of the Administrator console, in the Patch window. Using that window, a patch can be selected and applied.

2. Click Update Now to begin the update process.

TIP: To view update activity, select Logs from the Updates menu.
