Overview
Profiles are an in-app feature across iTwin IoT, they allow you to save a layout and return to it at any time. Each module of the platform contains its own set of Profiles that are specific to that module. Once a profile has been created it is possible to share it with other Users within your organization. In this way, they will have access to view the exact data sets that will be displayed as you have specified for that profile. Permissions may be set to restrict access to a profile so that you have complete control of who can view, edit, and own that profile.
By saving profiles under Dashboards, Graphs and Reports modules, you will have the ability to easily collaborate with your colleagues. You can save critical and informative displays that are vital to interpreting and understanding your data in iTwin IoT.
Profiles are accessed in the same way across the platform by clicking on each respective component, such as Reports, Graphs or Dashboards. Some profile selection screens have specific features for them, we will go over them in this article.
