Profile Options
Profile Options are common to all of our tools. To find the profile options applicable for this Wizard, navigate to System Profile and enter More% AW% (note the space before AW) as shown in the screenshot below and select the ‘Find’ button.
The profile option applicable for this Wizard will show on the ‘System Profile Values’ form as shown below.
Many profile options can be set at the Site, Application, Responsibility or User level. Modify your search in the ‘Find System Profile Options’ form to set options at the appropriate level.
Profile Options are installed when you log into an instance (from the Wizard) for the first time. If a profile option is not available then you will need to re install your profile options.
To do this refer to the Reinstall Profile Options available in the Common User Topics documentation.
