What does Profiling do?

• Profiling is a way of grouping Customer Users 
• It is used for filtering the list of Catalogue Items
• It allows only selected groups of Customer Users to request Rfx, order Stock Items or Rate Card items through the Customer Catalogue
• It makes it easier for the Buyers to place orders or request items on behalf of Customer Users
  
  

Creating Profiles for an individual Customer

You can create multiple Profiles for your Customer, depending how granular the association between Profiles and Catalogue Items Profiling will be. Follow the below steps to get the Profiles created:

• In Claritum go to Customers
• Select Customer you want to create Profile(s) for

• Hit 'Add New Profile'
• Provide 'Profile Name' and as many values as you want by hitting 'Add new value' button
• If you wish to add another profile  just hit 'Add New Profile" button
• Hit 'Save' button after you're finished with adding all the Profiles.

Setting up Catalogue Items Publishing with Customer Profiles.

When the Profiles for the Customer are created you can then associate them with the Catalogue Items to make sure only selected groups of Customer Users can request the Catalogue Items or you can request / order items on behalf of them.
