Ground Rules for Using Profiles |
[Top] [Previous] [Next] | |
The Profile Editor makes it easy to manage your profiles. Easy as it is to use, there are a couple of points that you need to keep in mind to make sure your profile specifications have the desired effects:
First save, then test!
Do not forget to save your changes before you test a profile. Profiles do not apply new settings until you have stored them.
No login, no effect:
When you modify a profile, the new settings are not effective until the next time the affected clients log in on Virtual CD NMS.
Activation is essential:
In the list of profiles shown in your Profile Editor, the profiles can be activated and deactivated. Remember: only activated profiles are processed at login.
If you find that Virtual CD does not behave as expected on a given client, even though you saved the desired profile settings and the client logged in afterwards, check whether there are multiple profiles assigned, with a "sum total" of settings that differs from the settings you have just stored—in other words, check the cumulative profile for the station in question. To keep things as simple as possible, remember the old saying: "Less is more!" Do not create and assign more profiles than you really need.
Use the "Print" function in the Virtual CD NMS Profile Editor to print hardcopies of your profiles. This makes it easier to keep track of your settings. |
