Add a profile for Export Settings

You can create a profile for export settings in the Solution Configuration Manager. This profile can then be shared between multiple clients, enabling export behavior for one or more clients with minimal effort. If none of the available profiles is appropriate for a specific client, additional profiles are allowed.

You can add an export profile to your project, by following these steps.

  1. Open the Solution Configuration Manager.
  2. Select a Project from the list.

    An additional Settings list is displayed.

  3. From the Settings list, select Export Settings.

    An additional Profile list is displayed.

  4. Select the profile from the Profile list that contains settings that are the closest to those you want in your new profile.

    If you are not sure here, select the default profile.

    An additional Copy Profile button is available.

  5. Click Copy Profile.

    A Copy Profile window is displayed.

  6. Keep the default option for the Profile ID.

    This is a unique number and it is easiest if you just accept the one provided as it is the next unique number in the sequence, provided by the Solution Configuration Manager.

  7. Enter a short Profile Name that is easy to remember.
  8. Enter some helpful information about the profile in the Profile Description.
  9. Click Save

    A new profile is available in the Profile list above, but only visible when you select the Export Settings.

    This profile is now available for all of the Export Settings categories.
