Description of the Sub-Menu Profile Groups

The left hand part of the Profile Group window allows the administrator to search for a Profile Group by its profile name; the full profile name is not necessary. The administrator can enter some characters and the search function returns all the entries that contains the entered characters. The search results are listed under the '''Search''' button. After a search, the search button is greyed out until the search criterion is modified. If the administrator selects an entry in the search result, the profile is automatically selected in the Profiles table.

The administrator must provide a valid name for the profile to be able to save it. A pop up appears if the administrator tries to save the profile with the '''Profile Name''' field left blank or if the name already exists.

Selecting a Profile for each type done by clicking on the edit button in the fourth column of the table. Based on the Profile type being selected, the corresponding list of defined Profiles is displayed and the administrator can select the appropriate one.
