Attribute Profile Management ​
Attribute profiles are reusable attribute structures and build the Repository in ADOxx. Attribute profiles are defined for the complete application libraries and are thus available both in models of the D library as well as in models of the S library.
The Attribute Profile Management provides all functions necessary for managing the ADOxx attribute profiles. You can define new attribute profiles, edit,copy,move and delete existing attribute profiles as well as show their utilisation and additionally create new attribute profile groups,rename,copy,move or delete existing attribute profile groups.
The following graphic gives an overview of the relations of attribute profile management in the ADOxx Development Toolkit.
Attribute profiles are created in the attribute profile groups in the attribute profile management. The reference to an attribute profile class is defined in the classes. The concrete assignment of the attribute profile (of an attribute profile class) is carried out on the objects during the modelling.
To use the services provided by the attribute profile management component of ADOxx, please proceed according through the following steps:
Start the ADOxx Development Toolkit. The window ADOxx Development Toolkit will appear.
Activate the "Attribute profile management" by clicking on the corresponding smart-icon
in the toolbar. Alternatively, you can activate this component by opening the popup menu of the component bar. Click with the right mouse button on the component bar beneath the smart-icons for the components. Then select the menu option "Attribute profile management". Alternatively you can use the function key <F11> to open the popup menu and the key <a> to select th Attribute Profile Management. Once the Attribute Profile Management is active, the toolbar is displayed with the smart icon for the editing of this attribute profiles. 
Attribute Profiles ​
With ADOxx attribute profiles, it is possible to create a repository, i.e. attribute structures which you can reuse in ADOxx.
With attribute profiles, you can define and change recurrent attribute values at a specific place (attribute profile administration). This way, the consistency of the deposited information is guaranteed.
An attribute profile consists of any number of attributes of any type.
Hint
The attribute profile administration is a component of the Development Toolkit. Additionally, authorised users can administrate attribute profiles in the Modelling Toolkit (modelling component).
Editing in the Attribute Profile Management ​
Concrete attribute profiles - i.e. attribute sequences determined with values - will be created, edited and deleted in the attribute profile administration.
The creation of an attribute profile means that an attribute profile class has been instantiated to an attribute profile (like instancing of an object of a class in the modelling in Modelling Toolkit).
Additionally in the attribute profile administration, it is possible to create so-called (attribute) profile group hierarchy, in order to set up user-specified structures for the attribute profiles.
