Profiles

What is a Profile and how do you use it?

At the heart of PubAssist FTP is the concept of working with profiles. Profiles allow you to quickly create and easily access the content you need to publish, and to the desired InfoDev server.

For example, if you have a Release Note document that you need to host on the staging server for review, and later publish to the production server for public consumption, you can create a profile that consists of :

  • Profile Name: A name for you to identify the documentation
  • Source Location: the location of the transformed content
  • FTP staging Folder: The folder on the InfoDev staging server in which the content will reside
  • FTP production folder: The folder on the InfoDev production server in which the content will reside

This profile remains in the Profile list and is available for quick access every time you run PubAssist FTP.

Profiles can be easily created, edited and deleted all from the main window.
