Profiles

Based on the instance definition, this determines whether to include a particular element (typically a Section) in a document. Right-click on the element which you want the profile to apply and choose Add Attribute and Profile.

Note: If specific values for a profile are not selected, by default all of the values apply. For example, not setting the value for Governing Jurisdiction for a section includes the content for all jurisdictions.

After adding the profile attribute, choose which profile category you want to apply. To do this right click on the profile attribute and a list of categories will be displayed.

Hover over the desired category to display a list of available values in another window. Click to choose all the values that apply for this section and a checkmark will appear to the left of the value. An option exists at the top of the Governing Jurisdiction value window to Check All Items and Uncheck All Items. These options allow you to select/deselect all states except one. You can choose to Check All Items and than deselect the one state that is not needed.

If more than one profile category applies, set additional values. After setting all of the profile values, click in the main Outline Editor window and the profile windows will close.

The selected profile attributes now appear within the Outline Editor.

Note: To locate content within an REQ file that has sections that vary by Governing Jurisdiction: insert the variations in alphabetical order by state abbreviation starting with the variation that covers the most states.
