Using Profiles

Profiles enable you to customise the way the On Key user interface displays data. A profile can include filters, sort orders, summarised groups, visible fields, the tab order for data capture, and chart parameters.

Profiles can be created for:

On Key uses four types of profiles:

Profiles Description
System Profile System Profiles are the default profiles that ship with On Key. A System profile is included for each browse and edit window in On Key. The System profiles are used by default until Personal or Global profiles are created.
 
Note: System profiles cannot be modified.
Personal Profile Personal Profiles are customised, user-defined profiles. They are only available to the specific users that created them. A Personal profile can be created for every browse and edit window in On Key.
 
Note: Users can only access Personal Profiles that they create.
Global Profile Global Profiles are customised profiles that are made available to all users. Users that have the appropriate user rights can convert a Personal profile to a Global profile.
 
Note: Global profiles can be mandatory or compulsory.
Initial Profile Initial Profiles are inherited by all new users by default. They can be created to minimise the administration effort required to create profiles for new users.
 
Note: Only Global Profiles can be made Initial Profiles.
