System Profile Values Window

Use this window to view and set profile option values.

You can view and set profile options at the site, application, responsibility, and user levels. Your settings affect users as soon as they sign on or change responsibility. See: Overview of Setting User Profiles.

Profile Values Block

Set values for profile options at one or more levels. Each value overrides those set to its left. For example, a User Value setting overrides a Responsibility Value setting, which overrides an Application Value setting, which overrides a Site Value setting.

Profile

This field displays the name of a profile option.

Site

This field displays the current value, if set, for all users at the installation site.

Application

This field displays the current value, if set, for all users working under responsibilities owned by the application identified in the Find Profile Values block.

Responsibility

This field displays the current value, if set, for all users working under the responsibility identified in the Find Profile Values block.

User

This field displays the current value, if set, for the application user identified in the Find Profile Values block.

Suggestion: You should set site-level default values for any required options after installation of an application. If you do not assign a particular profile option at any of the four levels, that option does not have a default value and may cause errors when you use forms, run reports, or run concurrent requests.

Find System Profile Values Block

Specify the level or levels at which you wish to view and set profile option values.

Display

You can view the values set for your installed profile options at each of four levels:

Site, which affects all users at an installation site.

Application, which affects all users working under responsibilities owned by a particular application.

Responsibility, which affects all users working under a specific responsibility.

User, which affects a unique application user.

You can find the values for all profile options that include a specific character string, such as "OE:" for Oracle Order Entry. You can also display only profile options whose values are currently set.

Site

Check the Site check box if you wish to display the values for profile options at an installation site.

Application

Select an application if you wish to display profile option values for responsibilities owned by that application.

Responsibility

Select a responsibility if you wish to display profile option values for a specific responsibility.

User

Select an application user if you wish to display profile option values for a specific user.

Profile

Enter the name of the profile option whose values you wish to display. You may search for profile options using character strings and the wildcard symbol (%). For example, to find all the profile options prefixed by "Concurrent:", you could enter "Conc%" and press the Find button.

Profiles with No Values

Select whether to display all profiles, including those without currently set values. If this check box is unselected, only profiles with current values are retrieved.

Find

Choose the Find button to display all profile options, or the profile options you are searching for, at the level or levels you specified.
