Purpose of the Profile Manager window

  • Create a new user profile (use if you catalog for different libraries and need different options and customizations for each).
  • Base a new profile on:
    • Client default settings
    • Settings you created in another profile
       Note: Most users do not need multiple user profiles. You are not required to create or select or use the Profile function to use the client.
  • Change the default user profile.
  • Delete a profile.
  • Set an option for a prompt to require selection of a user profile upon client startup.
     Note: The default user profile is in a folder named MyProfile in the following location and contains the following files:
    • X:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\OCLC\Connex\Profiles\MyProfile\, where X is the letter of your hard drive
      • When you install the client, the default MyProfile folder contains:
        • Custom.Keymap.xml
        • Options.xml 
      • Other files are added to MyProfile when you use the corresponding functions/settings:
        • TextStrings.xml
        • AppExclusions.Keymap.xml
        • UserLogonInfo.xml
