Creating Component Profiles

When you add NetObjects Fusion Custom Components to your site, you can save the component’s general settings as a profile and then apply the profile to additional components that you add to your site.

For example, if you add the NOF Secure Site’s Signup component to your site, you can save the general settings for that component as a profile. When you add additional NOF Secure Site components (e.g., Login, Logout, Secure Page) to the site, you can apply the saved profile to the components so that the additional NOF Secure Site components have the same general settings.

You can also create multiple setting profiles and apply them to components for specific purposes. For example, you can add multiple NOF Guestbook components to your site, and each guestbook can have its own Guestbook Admin settings so that you can allow specific users access to each Guestbook Admin.

Component profiles also make it easier to modify component settings. When you create a Custom Component profile, you can make changes to the profile settings, and these changes will be applied to each component that uses that profile.

You create component profiles when configuring a component’s general settings

To create a Custom Component profile:

  1. After adding a Custom Component to a page, click the General tab of the component dialog.

  2. Configure the settings for the component.

  3. Click Save Profile.

The Save Profile dialog appears.

  1. Enter a name for the profile in the Name field.

  2. Click Save to save the profile and close the Save Profile dialog.

Note:
You can remove existing component profiles by selecting the profile name in the profile list and clicking Remove. If the deleted profile is in use by a component, the Default settings profile will be used.
