Save and Cache Profiles
(1) This creates an intermediate state of the profile (2). The current profile state is stored internally but not 'published', i.e. the profile is not yet saved. Note: An intermediate version of a profile can be recognized in the profile overview in column Intermediate version. You will also see a corresponding icon in the context menu of the profile entry.
(2) This can be used to restore the intermediate state. If an intermediate state (2) is available and the server or browser crashes or the session is invalid and the profile is edited again, a dialogue appears asking whether the intermediate status should be used.
(3) The profile is actually saved with this button. The intermediate state (2) is then automatically deleted.
Backup of Profiles
Via (4), first a backup of the profile is created (unsaved changes are not adopted) and then the profile is saved (with the changes). If the profile is a template that was changed in phases 1, 3-6, another dialogue appears in which you can select which profiles derived from the template are to be synchronised accordingly. Note: In the file system you will find the profile backups under ./datawizard/settings/-1.
Via (5) you can enter a change note for the saved changes. You will find these notes on page Info (Main Settings), further details there. Please note that the note does not refer to the backup, but to the subsequently saved profile with the changes.
Version of a Profile
By creating a backup, a new version of the profile is created (the backup has the current version number). The initial version number 1 is created after the creation and first (normal) saving of the profile. If a backup is imported, the profile takes over the version number of the backup. It is also possible to increase the version number by a "normal" saving (i.e. without a backup). To do this, set the following entry in configuration file ./etc/startup.xml to true (default is false).
<Set name="incrementVersionOnSave">true</Set>Deleting a Profile and Backups
A backup is also created when a profile is deleted. Backups are not deleted when the profile from which they originate is deleted. So if you have accidentally deleted a profile and created backups before, you can create a new profile and load a backup of the old profile (if you name the new profile exactly like the old one).
Importing Profile Backups
Profile backups can be imported in the Main Settings of a profile in tab Backup/Limits. Another dialogue will then appear.
(6) If you select a profile backup, the change notes of this profile appear in (7) (see above). Please note that the last change you see here does not come from the creation of the backup (see above), as the backup is created first and only then is the profile saved with the new change note.
