Watch this video to learn how to add a new profile.

To create a profile:

1. In the Hub, select Create new profile from the left navigation pane.
2. From the list of entity types displayed, select the entity type for which you want to create a profile. For example, let us select HCP.

   

3. In the Profile view, enter details relating to the profile in the attributes displayed in the facets. In our example, the attributes are related to the Health care providers.

   

   Note: The layout of the Profile view is configured in the UI Modeler. For more information, see topics UI Modeler overview and Configure your profile perspective for an entity type.

   Important attributes such as First Name and Last Name at the top of the form. Depending upon the Profile type, these attributes may vary but typically identify the entity. Enter the values into the attribute fields.

4. In any facet, click + MORE ATTRIBUTES to view a list of more attributes that you can add for the profile. You will see the More attributes dialog.

   

   1. From the More attributes list, select the attributes that you want to add for the new profile.
      Note: By default, the list of attributes isn't sorted alphabetically. To view this list in an alphabetical order, add a configuration in your UI JSON file. For more details, see topic Configuration to sort list alphabetically.

   2. In the Search field, you can enter search criteria to search for a specific attribute. The icon adjacent to the attribute in the list indicates the attribute type, which can be a simple, nested, or reference attribute.

   3. After making your selections, click on any place outside the More attributes dialog box. The attribute is added and the Profile view scrolls to the position in the facet where the new attributes are added. If you have selected multiple attributes, the last attribute selected is highlighted. You can add the values, as required.
   Note: If you have configured conditional attributes, selecting a control attribute will display the related conditional attributes immediately. For more information, see topics Conditional attributes and Configure conditional attributes.
5. After you have entered all the details, click Save at the top right corner of the page. The details are saved and the new profile is created with a new Entity ID assigned to it.
