7 Custom Profile Specification
Learn how to create and manage custom profile specifications in the Launch application.
Custom Profile Specification
Custom profile specifications are general-purpose, reusable specifications defined in Launch to model common attribute sets used by commercial and operational constructs, such as trade-in terms, charging terms, suspension terms, and promotion profiles. These specifications are not product or service specifications; instead, they provide configurable profiles that can be referenced by multiple entities within the catalog.
By defining attributes once and reusing them across applicable constructs, custom profile specifications help ensure consistent configuration and centralized management of commonly used attributes. This approach reduces duplication and allows changes to be made in a single place and applied wherever the profile is used.
As a Technical Specialist, you can create, view, edit, and delete these custom specifications in the Launch application.
Create Custom Profile Specification
To create a custom profile specification:
- Click the Workbench tab and then select Custom Profile Specification.
- In the Identifying information section, specify the name, effective period, the associated initiative, and the profile type of the custom specification.
- In the Attributes section, you can associate either new or existing attributes with the custom profile specification.
To add a new attribute:
- Click Add New Attributes. In the New Attribute page, select the type of the attribute. Provide the required details like name, type of the attribute, the unit of measure (UOM), description, minimum and maximum cardinality (that is, the minimum and maximum number of values the attribute can have) of the attribute.
-
In the Attribute Values section, provide the attribute values and specify the default value.
To add an existing attribute, click Add Existing Attributes and select the desired attributes.
- Click Create to create the custom profile specification.
