Profiling Sections of a Map
You can profile (make conditional) any section of a map by adding one or more profiling attributes to the topics in a map. In the hierarchical structure of a map, any profiling applied to a topic that has children applies to those children as well. You cannot include a child topic if its parent topic is excluded.
