Changing Profiles

Any changes made to a profile are applied as soon as the profile is saved. Any profile item left blank will not be compared to the estimate during a compliance check.

Note: Compliance Utility does not allow you to change an imported profile, or to create a new profile.

  • Change This Profile

Use this option to change any value or setting for the current profile. When you have finished with changes, you must click the Save button which is located next to the Profile Operation section. Any changes made are applied as soon as the profile is saved. (Only users of Estimate Review can change values and settings in an imported profile.)

Note: Profiles created by compliance business partners cannot be changed in Estimate Review.

  • Add New Profile (Full Edition only) clears all settings on all tabs so you can create a new profile.
