Profile Name Strings
When the Profiles>Profile Name String application parameter is set to Y, a property has the ability to define a profile type and a name string from the Configuration>Profile>Profile Name Strings menu option. Defining a profile type and a name string allows OPERA to match and validate against it each time a new profile is created by a user to see if the name string matches with the profile type and prevents the duplication of Company, Travel Agent, and Source profiles in OPERA.

Note: Partial name string matches can be configured by using the % symbol along with the partial name. The following displays how the % symbol can be used in the Name String:
%MICROS - Based on the Profile Type selected, compares the profile name string that begins with MICROS for the selected profile type. If the Profile Type does not match, then the message prompt is displayed about mismatched profile types.
MICROS% - Based on the Profile Type selected, compares the profile name string that ends with MICROS for the selected profile type. If the Profile Type does not match, then the message prompt is displayed about mismatched profile types.
%MICROS% - Based on the Profile Type selected, compares the profile name string that includes the word MICROS for the selected profile type. If the Profile Type does not match, then the message prompt is displayed about mismatched profile types.
MICROS%SYSTEMS - Based on the Profile Type selected, compares the profile name string that = 'MICROS SYSTEMS' for the selected profile type. If the Profile Type does not match, then the message prompt is displayed about mismatched profile types.
