  2. Enter a Profile Name (e.g., "Production Site", "Test Rig")
  3. Click Create or Save

Step 3: Load the Profile

  1. Select your new profile from the list
  2. Click Load Profile or Set as Active
  3. Profile becomes the active profile

Step 4: Configure Profile

  1. Add components to your new profile (see Add Component to Profile)

Tips

  • Use Descriptive Names: Name profiles clearly (e.g., "Site A - Production")

  • Component Isolation: Components in one profile don't affect another profile
  • Profile Switching: Switch profiles without restarting Profinity
