When you save data model options as default user preferences and apply them to a data model, you can save the Interactive Reporting document file for use as a profile. Over time, you can build a set of profile Interactive Reporting document files. By opening a profile Interactive Reporting document file and saving the options from the data model of the profile Interactive Reporting document file as defaults, users can switch between proven data model options appropriate to the task at hand.
A first time profile Interactive Reporting document file, created from a blank data model before saving any changes to the default settings, can be used to restore the data model options to the default settings. A more complete profileInteractive Reporting document file, appropriately populated with topics, can be used to promulgate data model options for the Use Defined Join Path feature.
