Introduction

The JS7 - Profiles hold settings that are specific to a user account and which are controlled by the user. 

• Profiles include a number of categories such as Preferences, Permissions etc.
• A Profile includes the management of JS7 - Inventory Favorites, i.e. predefined values that can be used to populate a number of frequently used input fields:
  • Agent Names: Operating a larger number of Agents can make it hard to select from a long list. Favorites implement a shortlist of frequently used Agent Names.
  • Facets: In a number of places users can add regular expressions that are hard to memorize, for example when adding patterns for file names with JS7 - File Watching. Favorites implement access to the list of frequently used facets.
• In addition to managing favorites directly from the page on which they are added to input fields, users have a sub-view to manage favorites independently.

Profile Page

The Profile page is accessible from the user menu of an account in the upper right hand corner of any JOC Cockpit view:

The Profile page offers a number of sub-views. The following section explains the Favorite Management sub-view.

  • entries that have been shared from a different user and
  • entries that have been added by the current user.

  • The position of an entry is automatically adjusted by that fact that the most recently used entry makes it to the top of the list.
