Editing profiles

Learn how to edit profiles or add suggestions in your profiles.

In the Profile view, you can select the Editing or Suggesting mode to edit details in a profile.

When you save a profile after editing it, a background process checks for any parallel updates and data enrichment to the profile. If updates were made, you will see a notification message asking you to refresh the page to view the updated details.

Note: You must configure this functionality in your UI configuration file for update check to be initiated. For more information on updating configuration files, see topic Export and Import of UI Configuration Files.

When editing a profile, attributes without values are not displayed. You can configure your UI to include such attributes. For more information, see topic Display attributes in all modes.

In the Profile view, select the Editing mode.
To add a new value to an attribute,select the + icon next to it.

For more information about conditional attributes, see topics Conditional attributes and Add conditional attributes when creating a profile.
