If you plan to use a form to add several entries with similar characteristics, you can save time by creating a profile. A profile is a template you can use to add repetitive information in the system. This functionality is available on all panels.

Public profiles are available for use by all members that belong to your Report Profile group. Your system administrator sets up Report Profiles in the User Administration window. Private profiles are only available for use by your User ID.
