Profiles
Table of Contents
Profiles are reusable templates containing preset project survey answers. Use profiles to quickly onboard projects and reduce errors. Use the default profiles provided by SD Elements, or create custom profiles.
Profile details
-
Name: The title of the profile. This name appears in the Add Project page.
-
Help Text: An optional description of the profile.
-
Initial answers: A set of survey answers that will automatically be selected when somebody creates a project with this profile. These work exactly the same as implied answers in project setting customization. You get an error if you introduce a cyclical conflict, which is when two answers imply different answers in a single choice question.
