Profile Management Overview

The Profile Management interface enables you to create, configure, and manage profiles that define the key identifiers and attributes for audience members in HCL Detect.

Note:

Creating Profile through UI is available from 26.1.0.IF1 version.

A Profile is a collection of attributes that define the structure and key identifiers for audience members in Detect. Each profile is backed by a database table and has mapped attributes that identify and match individuals across different data sources and pipelines.

The Profile Management interface provides a user-friendly way to:

Create new profiles from existing database tables
Map database columns to profile attributes
Designate key attributes for unique identification
View, edit, and manage existing profiles
Track profile status (Draft, Active, Master Profile)

Each profile consists of the following components:

General Information: Name, description, data source, and database table selection
Attribute Mapping: Mappings from database columns to profile attributes with data type information
Key Attribute: The primary identifier attribute used to uniquely identify audience members
Status: Draft, Active, or Master Profile
