Working with preference profiles

Preference profiles are a collection of console behavior preferences for using the console that are created by the console administrator. These preferences include the visibility of the navigation tree, contents of the view selection list, and the default view. Assign preference profiles to roles to manage how the navigation area and view selections are displayed to the users in the role.

Attention: Each role is limited to one preference profile.
