Sitecore DMS custom visitor classification

Question

I am trying to implement custom visitor classification. I defined my custom types in master database under and published them /sitecore/system/Settings/Analytics/Visitor Identifications

And I set the visitor classification upon login using api call Sitecore.Analytics.Tracker.Visitor.SetVisitorClassification(member.MemberType, member.MemberType, false);

But I was still getting my visits in visit detail report as Anonymous, upon digging I found that [VisitorClassifications] table in analytics database still doesn't have my custom Visitor Identifications.

Is there something I need to do get the custom "Visitor Identifications" I already defined in sitecore in to analytics database ? I wonder if making manual entry in to that database is the right way ? Would I break something ?

Answer 1

Open Control Panel and click on 'Analytics' Link.

Then you can find a link called 'Update Visitor Classification'

This will launch a wizard. It says, 'This wizard will help you : Update visitor classifications in the Analytics database.'

Try this. I think this should help you.
