Configuration Flow Profiles: Overview

A configuration flow profile is a set of configuration flow templates that are assembled to define a complete configuration workflow.

When a system administrator creates a profile, he selects the templates to include in the profile. He also enters descriptions of the parameters that were defined with variables in the templates. The parameter descriptions will be displayed to operators when they create an executor for the profile. The descriptions will help operators to understand the purpose of the parameters and to enter appropriate values. The system administrator can also change the order of the parameters so they are presented to operators in a logical order in the configuration flow executor.

The following image shows the main steps in creating a profile. For a detailed procedure, see "Creating a Configuration Flow Profile".
