Visualization Profiles

Each visualization project, i.e. a project containing at least one visualization object, must be based on a visualization profile. This profile defines the following:

• The names and versions of the visualization libraries, which are automatically integrated in the project when a visualization object is created.
• A selection of visualization elements originating from the integrated libraries, which are to be available in the toolbox of the visualization editor.

The default profile for the project is defined in the project properties under "Visualization Profile". It is possible to select a different profile at any time. Please note that the selected profile applies to all visualization objects of the project.

If a different profile is selected, a message appears to indicate that the profile may prevent logging in without online change or download. Changing the profile triggers an automatic update in the Library Manager with regard to the required libraries. In other words, the libraries do not have to be adapted manually.

If an old project is opened, which was not created based on a visualization profile, the system asks whether you wish to switch to the new profile mechanism, or not.

If "Yes", the latest profile is used. If "No", the oldest available profile is entered in the project settings (referred to as "compatibility profile"), but no further changes are made in the project.
