Favorite Profiles
When you are viewing content or sending content to reviewers or contributors, you may want certain filters and variables to be in place. For example, if a topic contains information about several products but your reviewer only knows about one product, you might want to filter out the content about other products. Rather than set up the filters and variables separately each time, you can set them up once and store them as a favorite profile. You can then apply the favorite profile when you view the topic or send it in an assignment.
Favorite profiles are associated with the content they were created for. You cannot create a profile for one topic and then use the same profile on a different topic. You can create a favorite profile from the Preview tab and also from the Review View. No matter where you create your favorite profiles, they are visible in both views.
To be able to make Favorite Profiles, you need to:
-
Be an author or administrator, see User Types
-
Set up the Filtering / Profiling
-
Insert a Variable in your content.
Note
When you create an assignment, include a message to tell the assignee which Favorite Profile to use. This makes it easier for assignees as they can choose the favorite to display the content that is relevant to them, without having to understand how variables and filters work, see Choose Profile Settings.
