Creating a profile

Your default profile evolves whenever you select or change something in ActivInspire. New tools appear in the Toolbox Shortcut Bar and perhaps you have opened or closed the Browser, pinned or moved the Main Toolbox, or changed the display so that you can use the World area. All these preferences are recorded in your default profile.

In the example, you can see that:

  • The Main Toolbox is docked along the bottom.

  • The Flipchart Bin is above it on the left.

  • The Browser is closed and

  • The page size has been reduced to give access to the World area.

To create a profile:

  1. From the Edit Menu, select Profiles . The 'Layout' Tab opens in the 'Edit Profiles' Dialog Box.

  2. Click on options to select or change them.

  3. Click on the 'Commands' Tab and add or remove tools.

  4. Click on the 'User defined buttons' Tab and define your own buttons.

  5. Click on the 'Settings' Tab, select an area from the left-hand pane and change its settings.

  1. When you are satisfied with your profile, click on Save Profile As The 'Save Profile As' Dialog Box opens.

  2. Type the name of your new profile, for example, 'Show world' and click on Save.

  3. The new 'Show world' profile is now the current profile.

  4. Click on Done.
