Profile Options Overview

This appendix describes profile options that affect the operation of your Oracle Project Contracts application.

Profile Option Summary

The table below indicates whether you, the User, can view or update the profile option and at which System Administrator levels the profile options can be updated: Site, Application, Responsibility, and User. Use the Personal Profile Options window to view or set your profile options at the user level. Consult your Oracle Applications System Administrator's Guide for a list of profile options common to all Oracle Applications.

A mandatory profile option requires a value. An optional profile option provides a value already, so you need to provide a value only if you want to change the value.
