Chapter 6. Profiles

Top  Previous  Next

Profiles allow saving a set of application settings in order to use them again. Suppose we need to regularly process photos for two different tasks. E.g., to use them on badges and in questionnaires. Framing setting, image sizes, folders for saving the results and other settings for these tasks will significantly differ. So, in order to avoid changing multiple settings each time, you can create corresponding profiles that contain a set of settings for a separate task in each of them. Then, application settings will be changed by simply switching over the profile.

The tools for working with profiles are located in the Admin main menu and in the Profile side menu.

The following operations can be carried out in the Admin menu:

Create profile
Update profile in correspondence with the settings of the current application session
Run Profile Manager which allows the following operations to be carried out:
Take a look at the existing profiles list
Take a look at the list of settings for each profile
Apply the profile to the current application session
Rename the profile
Delete the profile

The following operations can be carried out in the Profile side menu:

Take a look at what profile is applied to the current application session
Change the selected profile
Reset the profile applied to the current session

•        Take a look at whether the application settings have been changed after applying the profile. You can see an asterisk next to the profile name in the Profile side menu if the settings have been modified.
