Definition

You use profiles to maintain special attributes and information on an object. Each profile is made up of a number subprofiles (for example, qualifications, potentials, and so on for persons) and a whole range of standard information about the object (for example, name, date of birth, and so on for persons).

Use

You use profiles and subprofiles to assign objects their own particular characteristics. For example, you can assign qualifications and potentials to a person, and requirements to a position.

You can evaluate and compare object subprofiles with each other. This enables you to establish whether objects are suitable (for example, persons for positions) or whether qualification deficits exist. You can display and print out each subprofile and the overall list of all subprofiles in graphic form.

Structure

The following subprofiles are defined for Personnel Development in the standard system:

Integration

You use a profile view to define the elements that make up a profile. For further information about defining profile views, refer to the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Personnel Development under  Functions Define profile view.
