RayPack uses profiles to store the various options and settings required for operation. By utilizing profiles, settings and options can be stored for individual situations. For example, if packages need to be created for two different departments of your organization, or for two different customers. As each department or customer may have differing requirements, simply storing the settings and options for each department / customer in a separate profile allows for easy switching between profiles without having to configure RayPack and any templates every time a package needs to be created.
The Profiles section provides an easy overview and management tools over profiles of RayPack. These include:
•The location of the profiles folder
•The Profile to use during the capture process and the settings and options that are used when a new package project is created
•Creating a new profile, or editing existing profiles
The central section shows the currently selected profile and the full path where the defined profile settings can be found.
