About Smart Client profiles
Available functionality depends on the XProtect Advanced VMS you are using. See the Product
comparison chart (on page 21) for more information.
Smart Client profiles allows system administrators to control how XProtect Smart Client should look
and behave and what features and panes XProtect Smart Client users have access to. You can set up
user rights for: panes and options, minimize/maximize options, inactivity time-control, remember
password or not, view shown after log in, layout of print reports, export path, and more.
To manage Smart Client profiles in the system, expand Client and select Smart Client Profiles. You
can also learn about the relationship between Smart Client profiles, roles and time profiles and how to
use these together (see "Create and set up Smart Client profiles, roles and time profiles" on page
126).
Add and configure a Smart Client profile
You must create a Smart Client profile before you can configure it.
1. Right-click Smart Client Profiles.
2. Select Add Smart Client Profile.
3. In the Add Smart Client Profile dialog box, type a name and description of the new profile
and click OK.
4. In the Overview pane, click the profile you created to configure it.
5. Adjust settings on one, more or all of the available tabs and click OK.
Copy a Smart Client profile
If you have a Smart Client profile with complicated settings or rights and need a similar profile, it might
be easier to copy an already existing profile and make minor adjustments to the copy than to creating
a new profile from scratch.
1. Click Smart Client Profiles, right-click the profile in the Overview pane, select Copy Smart
Client Profile.
2. In the dialog box that appears, give the copied profile a new unique name and description.
Click OK.
3. In the Overview pane, click the profile you just created to configure it. This is done by
adjusting settings on one, more or all of the available tabs. Click OK.
Create and set up Smart Client profiles, roles and time profiles
When you work with Smart Client profiles, it is important to understand the interaction between Smart
Client profiles, roles and time profiles.
